Ted Turner and Bill and Melinda Gates propose plans for African Villages
LOGAN, Utah- Ted Turner and Bill and Melinda Gates were seen getting off a private jet together and meeting with local African officials. Bill Gates was unaware that this trip was announced however he said that the trip was successful. Gates revealed that future plans have been discussed to help Africans better take care of themselves and prevent deadly diseases such as measles and small pox. Ted Turner is confirmed to have joined forces with the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation. Bill Gates said that by joining their efforts together they will have a higher impact in helping the people of Africa. Gates also said that Ted wants to see where his money is going and so he is actively involved. "I think this will be a good relationship." Gates said.
Malik Ok, and African Mayor, met with the Gates and turner to discuss what they want to accomplish in villages throughout Africa. Ok gave them a feel for the peoples needs. He is happy about the efforts being made because it’s not just people handing them items like clothing, medicine and food. It’s all that combined with the education of how to keep these resources intact.
Gates said a press conference will be held within the next few weeks that will cover more details about the plans in progress for Africa.

You did a great job on this pns! It had a nice flow and included all of the information. I also liked your ending with stating that there will be a formal press conference at a later time.
hey nice work! My only suggestion would be to maybe use a quote from tha African mayor! But your are a great writer! keep it up!
Hey baby! Your news story was written very well. There were a couple of things grammatically I would have changed but that's just because I am a grammar nazi haha. Anyway, you're a talented writer!
As always good job. It shows you have a natural talent for journalism! Great job!
