Sean 'Diddy' Combs wants to open schools across the worldHitmaker Sean Combs, aka Diddy, has revealed that he wants to build schools around the world to help make good education accessible to as many youngsters as possible. During a new interview with U.S. breakfast show Today, he explained that opening the Capital Preparatory Harlem Charter School in Harlem, New York inspired him to continue on with the project: "It's always been a dream of mine to come back home and open a school, I've just always had that vision in my head." "I knew that I was able to achieve to the heights that I was able to achieve (sic) because I started out and had a very good education, and I think we just take that for granted. Also, we're not dealing with the issues that we're not properly educating our children, especially in inner cities." He added: "So instead of complaining about it, I wanted to do something about it, so I opened up my own school and I'm just gonna lead by example and try to make the change that way. It's a beautiful thing. I also wanna expand schools into different cities and countries." Diddy, meanwhile, is currently on the road with his Bad Boy Family Reunion Tour, which also includes Lil' Kim, Mase, French Montana, Faith Evans, Mario Winans, 112, Total, and Carl Thomas. The full tour schedule can be seen below:
