Bram doesn't believe in the word "impossible". He believes that you can get what you want if you are willing to try hard enough.
Bram secured a grant through IBM to get myself, another teacher and a computer to Mexico, our Oaxaca Project. But, it was more than a grant that Bram gave me. He gave me an opportunity that turned out to be the most exciting experience I've had as a teacher. He gave me never-ending technical support without ever making me feel dumb, and if you are a novice to technology you know how important that is.
He gave me a real belief in the premise that there are not problems, only solutions that take hard work and time.
