[basquebromance]

"Peter Tabichi, a math and physics teacher in Kenya who gives away the bulk of his monthly income to the poor, has won a $1 million Varkey Foundation Global Teacher Prize. Tabichi’s school in the remote Pwani Village has only one computer, poor internet, and a student-teacher ratio of 58:1. He accepted the award from actor Hugh Jackman, who hosted the ceremony on Sunday in Dubai."

I searched to see if anyone ever started a thread about Hugh Jackman. Glad to know he’s a good man. He is now one Oscar away from being an EGOT.

Emmy
Grammy
Oscar
Tony

I’m sure he will eventually get there. He might with this new movie he has coming out.
