Carrie Walton Penner's Family Donates $350 million To Empower Over 1,600 School In The US

Watsons is the owner of Wal-Mart, and it is known to be the world's largest retailer shop. The family is sitting on a mountain of cash that is worth billions of dollars through their grand-parents, "Sam and Helen Watson". That is to say they are living on young money which emanated from old money. Lol!


Today, the grand-daughter of the Watsons, Carrie Walton Penner, and the entire family are very much keen to get many young people to school, and that is why she has stepped into the shoes left behind by her grand parents, she's decided to sponsor the blossoming of more than 1,600 public schools in the United States, which are situated in the poor urban areas, to give some sense of sound education to the kids who may not be able to afford the best of academic upbringing.

The Watsons therefore have provided the sum of $350 million to ensure that over 1,600 public schools are resuscitated,  so that these young people who can obtain their education in them, can be afforded the good opportunity to compete favourably amongst their counterparts within the country and beyond.

Carrie Walton Penner, according to the report released by Forbes,  “Today we see the opportunity window closing for so many children and families,” she stated.

The Watsons are really doing great, and I would encourage them to never relent in doing the good work to empower our generation on the path of education.
