    The amount erased by Rolling Jubilee, and the number of students helped, will not make a practical dent in that sum. "It doesn't solve the problem," says Gokey.

    Instead, what he and the group's members are trying to do is draw attention to the plight of millions of people with unpaid student loans, especially high-interest private loans from relatively expensive for-profit colleges.

I like what they're doing. But I can't imagine there aren't many people who are aware of student debt. The testimonial in the story is nice though. I'm glad they're able to help remove all of some people's debt.
