2. 2008年，詹纳作为顾问与印度达拉维一家呼叫中心的员工进行了交流。达拉维是南亚最大的贫民窟。那名工人说有数以百万计的无业村民具备有与他一样的能力。詹纳说：“我想：‘有没有可能利用外包为数十亿人每个人带来几美元，而不是为少数富人带去数十亿美元？’” 于是，她成立了撒马源公司（Samasource），用这个高科技平台帮助贫困的女性和年轻人获得谷歌（Google）、商务社交媒体公司LinkedIn和微软（Microsoft）等公司的数字项目。到目前为止，这个非盈利机构已经帮助16,000人脱离了贫困。近期，它还在美国成立了一个国内项目SamaUSA，主要面向居住在旧金山的低收入学生。

You could say Rogers got the last laugh, but since M·A·S·H went on for eight more seasons and Rogers' never reached the same career success again, the last laugh might be a relative concept.
