The Star – Paul Hunter
“Tariq Fancy believes he can change the world. So much so that the Torontonian abandoned a very lucrative salary as the youngest partner at a Wall Street investment firm and turned in his keys to a loft in Manhattan’s Greenwich Village so he could come home to share a two-bedroom apartment over a noodle house on Baldwin St., earn no salary and chew through his savings.

Rumie distributes tablets preloaded with textbooks, interactive lessons and other instructive tools to areas where access to education is either limited or non-existent.”(more)
