Typical newsletter of GrameenEconomics.net - oct 2010 - report from 5th visit to dhaka and yunus at Grameen Mirpur
rscp info@worldcitizen.tv if you feel you can add to this newsletter as part of the emerging process of 1 million monthly newsletter of next
month's social busness interactions
I have long believed in an idea I interpreted from
an old section of sam's web that the (change economics) world urgently needs an open learning exchange between grameen,
brac and jamii bora- so I am writing a series of mails to you - when it is headed with one of these 3 names it is still
in my mind in the context of how to connect the 3 to multiply better futures than each alone can do
JAMII
BORA www.jamiibora.org
Its my current assumption that there is no conflict between openly supporting both grameen and jamii bora; at the
peak of the wall street crisis 1.0 sam arranged the priceless spectacle of 500 jp morgan execurtives in new york attending
a session on learning from ingrid's slumdog millionnaires co-supported by yunus. As far as I understand ingrid's is an innovation
showing that community loyalty can be mobile microcredited to youth in slums as well as the most faithful attempt to do a
grameen not run by yunus, and she warmly credits the whole idea to yunus. And Queen Sofia calmy cheers on their joint innovation.
Of
course sam can advise us if I am being over-optimistic on this as Ingrid's story is now a number 1 he likes to tell when
asked to give personal moving examples from his 30 years of working to narrow gaps between the top of power and grassroots
networking's bottom of micro up. I dont think it is betraying confidence to say that sam would like to see
Ingrid as the next person in microeconomics world to get a Nobel prize.
I have got stuck with solicitors in selling
my london house but hope definitely by nov 16 (The Economist's party and India Microfinance summit) and hopefully before nov4 wolfsburg (Global Social Buisness Summit) to have confirmed a loan to ingrid; it is my intention unless corrected by lesley and
jonathan to say that while I have worked in asia since 1982 (and feel some of its development challenges are in my family's
blood as several generation of Scots on my mother's side worked in India) I know nothing about the cultures of Africa
therefore the friends of africa I personally rely on most are lesley out of joburg with the wordwide backup of jonathan as founder
of www.the-hub.net. Lesley if you do not have time because of starting up the hub in joburg to arrange learning exchange visit with jamii
bora in next 6 months should ingrid approve of this please tell us now. Your reportong back from kenya microcreditsummit
read to me as most enthusiastic, and I do realise from the last 5 years of your work that standing up for the complete
social business model in africa is harder than anywhere partly becuse there are so many health and other tragedies that communities/children
(which have long received the shortest straw of colonailism and post-colonialism) cannot just work their own economic
way out of. I assume that african hubs need to be ready to be obama's favourite community building resource once
his networking of micro-entrepreneurship goes beyond presidency.
If anyone has idea on how we can double check
whether all the tacit knowhow of mandela is being codified, please make suggestions; one thing s.africa does have uniquely
going for it is being the first place to have pioneered the free university model. I wish microcredit and free university
model founders knew each other better.
I trust that mails like these can have a cumulative impact between
now and march 2011 as anyone with sustainability crises to openly resolve who networks through DC prepares
for congress to receive their voted wish (thanks to sams www.results.org ) to hear directly from dr yunus the genius economist www.grameeneconomics.net and mediator of our hi-trust and value multiplying era of global village networking .
WORLDCLASSBRANDS.TV We also need to know why to link in at every meeting opportunity celebrations of
1) his daughters joy www.singforhope.org ;
2 his noble speech's wish to apply global social business to health partnerships;
3 his economical
practice leadership since 1996 of mobile technology for the poor - the changes in interviewing the people yunus assigns
to this over the lst 3 years are tremendous and do need the most dedicated info tech for poor entrepreneurial summit-
something yunus seeks help on;
4 and helping kids form 11 up to understand 1776's declaration of entrepreneurial
good news meant by happy and free - ie truly crediting entrepreneurial spirit makes more jobs than it takes wherever it connects.
Those who know how coke used those 4 dimensions to be the first global brand of american centrury 1876-1975 can help
grameen be the worlds favoutire brand of sustainability partnerships linking www peoples to Asian Pacific century
1876-2075 as dad's exponential analysis of local to global system design foresees.
not sure if I should have amplified
anything above- questions anyone; of course any errors in above are mine alone
