It all happened pretty quickly.

It started with this post: http://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/oye34/meet_omari_two_d... -- made by a person working with Longonot Education. The person only asked for $2000, but Redditors have donated 70,000 (and counting) in under 24 hours so far. Upon the suggestion of someone to help out with their skills and labor -- not just money, /r/rwb was spontaneously created to formalize the initiative and articulate clear goals.
