In the United Kingdom, he began a campaign to raise funds to build a library in the most financially impoverished area of Georgia. He started with his students in Cambridge, England, and together they successfully raised $4,000 to build a school library in Gogasheni, Georgia. Next, he began to work with the Georgian Ambassador to the United Kingdom, who, impressed with Jacques' passion and commitment to education, invited him to speak to a group of CEOs who were considering investing in Georgia. Jacques’ appeal for improving the education system helped secure $12 million in a corporate donation – a donation which facilitated the connection of many Georgian schools to the electrical grid and equipped them with computers and well-stocked libraries.
