with Europe to build a new global order.
Brown hails Obama as 'new hope' . In his annual foreign policy address to the City of London,
the Prime Minister called on fellow world leaders to "seize the moment" and lay the foundations for the "first

Barack Obama: "Disease stands in the way of progress on so many fronts; it can condemn populations to poverty,
prevent a child from getting an education, and yet far too many people still die of preventable illnesses. Today I'd like
to focus on just one, malaria. We have eliminated malaria in the United States, but nearly one million people around the world
still die from a mosquito bite every year. Eighty-five-percent of the victims are African children under the age of five.
In Africa, a child dies from a mosquito bite every 30 seconds, and by the way, this is something I've seem personally.
If you go to the village where my father grew up, where my grandmother still lives, the toll of malaria remains throughout
the region. And beyond the devastating human toll, malaria weighs down public health systems, setting back global capacity
to fight other disease. So today I want to join with the global malaria community that is meeting here in New York to make
a new commitment: When I am president, we will set the goal of ending all deaths from malaria by 2015. It's time to rid
the world of a disease that doesn't have to take lives. The United States must lead and when I am president we will step
up our focus on prevention and treatment around the world to get this done"
here are 3 short videos that connect clinton, yunus, gordon brown, and millennial goals; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jB1tSDXbOzg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=klUu03EMeRs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fP5QlLoIc5s&feature=user they are also what both usa presidential candidates pledged to during the clinton global initaitive; if you join in
the tri-partite discussion boards of clinton , yunus and others - please help bridge any connecting views you see on why we
are now all in community-building economics and social policies - in many ways the exact opposite of what the white house
until today has accidientally systemised; this is not a party political comment nor an anti-american one; its actual pure
maths if sustainability is the world you want for your children http://yunus10000.com/
Lower down you can help us checklist collaboration activities and cross-cultural networks that Yunus and Microeconomics friends Indian-Bangladeshi citizen forums around the world are experimenting with in 2008/2009 - we love edgy experiments - micro but openly

Winner and founder of Grameen Bank, Muhammad Yunus, to discuss the potential for microcredit and social business schemes in
Africa. Microcredit is the innovative banking program that provides poor people--mainly women--with small loans they use to
launch businesses and lift their families out of poverty.
Seen from compounding a 24 year perspective of who's globalisation will the planet be ruled we seek bot deep community and cross-cultural kinds of ways hi-trust people power will need to take back globalisation if we are not to end up in ever more failures of banks and
bubbles, global warming and drowning in waste (see prince's accounting project, interfaces death of birth), created
by people who rule quarterly from the top without exponentially mapping consequences of what's most needed deeply and
collaboratively in each community.
Can you help?- do your citizen networks have better ideas for encouraging
people power and free universities?

Dear Friends of Meta-collaboration in community sustainability
May thanksgiving in the community
that matters most to you be replete with happiness and freedom
I think that Melanie & Friends http://theglobalsummit.org deck is quite a nice output; Laura was telling me that it will likely be January before http://chain-reaction.org knows its next prospectus out of London with Gordon Brown chairing Social Actions. With up to 1000 people including
200 under 21 to get feedback from there's clearly a lot of wonderful ideas to catalogue. January is a good time to get
a round-the-world millennium actions leaflet out in DC to young community-building people partying around Obama's inauguration. I
think formats for collaboration action prospectus are very difficult to map so I hope folk don't mind me attaching early
version of globalsummit deck as a nice benchmark
I am not an expert in mega-action summits but
in the 10 years or so that I have been going to large scale (100 to 5000 person) open spaces the difficult period seems
to be keeping projects developing after the summit- I feel project momentum will definitely increase year in
year out to 2015 in LA but wonder about how to get some other twin cities feeling the global summit is their worldwide
connector of action projects; I look forward to news of portal or other bookmarks of how to keep connecting
A
bit cheekliy I will try and assemble main links at http://www.yunusuni.com/id47.html if only as an aide memoire for my aging grey cells!
Mostofa at http://yunusforum.net in London is our main relationship links to who does what around Dr Yunus in Dhaka and http://yunus10000.com and is also trying to connect alumni of clinton university with its next meetng in Texas in February. Yunus10000 dvd
dialogue aims to have a theme of the month- we are moving from Internetworking for the poor - november's theme to a review
of health partnerships that Dr Yunus and others have connected in year 1 of Future Capitalism - health being arguably Dr Yunus'
number 1 wish to develop back in Dhaka - he wants to set up a free medical training college but one where those why qualify
commit say 5 years of work in rural areas as an exchange for the free university.
Los Angeles www.thegreenchildren.org are one of his good news sources on health (hi Tom is your email working) -this pop duo has already funded nearly 2
eye care hospital social businesses linked to the model that Larry Brilliant at google.org and an Indian eye care group developed
that has 10 times less cost for eye surgery than anyhwre else on the planet. They have the "EMPOWER" album
coming out soon with "you can hear me now" as theme song of ending digital divides- something that yunus introduction
of mobile technology way back in 1996 has moved Bangladesh as a core innovator of with Kazi Islam at www.grameensolutions.com the ceo at epicentre of Yunus internet for poor revolutions. There are quite large youth newtorks signed up around thegreenchildren
but I am not wholly clear where we pool action projects.
I invite others to introduce their flows if they
may want to meta-collaborate.
My family's bias since 1984 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norman_Macrae : The world needs to counter the ever spiralling bad news that will come down from wall street with good news
from micro-up community builders until microeconomists end the rule by macroeconomist and all their mathematically wrong professions and
image-ridden media
EF Schumacher - The heart of the matter is the stark fact that world poverty
is primarily a problem of 2 million villages, and this a problem of 2 billion villagers. The solution cannot be found
in the cities. Unless the hinterland can be made tolerable, the problem of world poverty is intolerable, and inevitably will
get worse.
