| Message | Non-profit. That's the key word. They basically work on donations. They won' be that expensive. I am sure the private sector won't oppose to give some funds for the education of our people. |

| Random fact: By default the head of government is the ultimate authority within a national government. In general terms, heads of government are expected to consult with cabinet colleagues (including those from other parties) before making significant decisions but they remain responsible for government action. |
