Here is a picture of me with Mohamed Yunus, winner of this years Nobel Peace prize for his Grameen Bank in Bangladesh getting poor people out of poverty. He is a real charmer.
Polly
(Polly is, among a zillion other things, a retired UUA minister and smiling dan’s mother-in-law)
And were you there on a trip, chance encounter, or perhaps looking to make a deposit, fund a few startups yourself? Or was he here on his own trip, looking to inspire and rehabilitate the money lenders in our own temples?
They were all congregated in Hallifax NV at a conference on micro-lending.
Yunus there as a participant, as was Polly, to learn, and representing the Ted Guild Bank of the Phillipines, co-founded by her and her late husband.
Dr. Yunus was on Oprah today. 58 million people he has helped.
