Our journalists, youth and educators returned from our 69th birthday dialogue with Dr Yunus, YunusCentre, BRAC and the British Council, it is evident for all to see that Dhaka is economics' epicente of sustainability investment and living

As my father forecast from The Economist in 1984, 10 times more economic futures are possible in networking age but
only if microeconomics slays macroeconomics - the latter has over the last decade as Clinton mentioned in CGI 2008 become the theory
(and globalisation monopoly) of how to compound ever less economic systems not only in banking but healthcare, energy,
education, anything that takes life's times to get more communally productive at -see also Obama broadcast).
We believe it is neither moral nor exponentially sustainable for American Universities and schools to examine young minds on how to be 10 times less economical. The first project Dhaka has set us
at http://yunusforum.net/ is to unite 5000 youth ambassadors of university year 09/10 by asking them to collaborate in developing their
own presentation of micro economics and micro everything as sustainability's system design. In the event that you have 10
or more clinton uni students who might want to form a team connecting that do tell us.
We will also be encouraging
as many youth ambassadors as possible to send a delegate to microcreditsummit in kenya in april- this is timely for the
09/10 uni year, and may be the last worldwide opportunity to re-empower Obama as Yes We Can community building President; as
a true microeconomics bonus, mapping Kenya's Jamii Bora connects Africa's most sustainable microeconomic model yet.

jigsaw pieces that our dialogue is working on. In the event that anyone in your network wants contextual or collaboration debriefings

The heart of the matter as i see it
is the start fact that world poverty is primarily a problem of 2 million vllages, and this a problem of 2 billion vilagers.
The solution cannot be found in the cities of the world. Unless the hinterland can be made tolerable, the problem of world
poverty is intolerable, and ineveitably will get worse. EF Schumacher
practical advice from
the world's number 1 ranking collaboration entrepreneur - whenever you use the internet -or any hi-trust media - to end poverty invite everyone who seriously cares about the millennium goal race as seen in poor communities to question

Obama: "this victory alone is not the
change we seek it is only the chance for us to make that change."
Gordon Brown hailed the election of Barack Obama as a source of "hope and inspiration" as he urged the United States to join
with Europe to build a new global order.

What
the World Needs Now : unite goal of end poverty
Jane Wales:
Dr Yunus- because you’re the world’s best problem solver I have ever known , I
am going to ask you about some of the things that are in the plate of the next president of the united states. He will come in and he will face
poverty including new poverty at home and abroad
the employment crisis
the need to provide quality education for all
the need to provide affordable healthcare
post-conflict reconstruction and reconciliation
if were you advising the new president, would you urge him to take an integrated approach or to deal with
each independently?
Muhammad Yunus
well I can only tell him of my way at looking at it –first of allif he wants
to be serious about poverty – after all, the president of US is de facto the president of the world, so what he doesimpacts the whole world. So when he talka
about poverty he provides the leadership that others take.
Now we have the millennium goals which are a wonderful set of goals which inspire all the
world but were unfortunately derailed by other things that came up so first of all restore total support for the millennium
development goals and withdraw from other stuff united states got involved in such as war on terror,
so concentrate on the one of making sure we achieve the millennium
goals, achieve them 100% this will be a tremendous achievement for the whole world that we have done something its not some
of UN goal setting and forgetting, this is a real goal and a realty to celebrate having done it
and
then for this president the best thing is to show total commitment of ending poverty set a new date when the world can be
at zero poverty – we have 2015 at halve poverty so why don't we set the next goal zero poverty so that we know this
is the direction we need to take,
when we set the date everything else will fall into place:
how do you measure, how do you do it there
are several things that will play an important part
1 microcreditbecause it has
shown its effectiveness in unleashing the capacity of people
2 technology how to bring technologyto the poorest people so that they can change their whole world
3 healthcare
so
its nothing separated, its integrated but you cant have one organisation doing everything, you need several organisations
but focused so that everything is achieving the same goal to lift the person
and as the president is declaring the
date for zero poverty in the whole world at the same time encourage the united states to set their date when their city be
zero poverty when their county gets to zero poverty- if someone says well we have no poverty how do you
know if you have poverty or not –its very simple the first question I ask is do you have a welfare program, a welfare
department? As long as you have a welfare department you have poverty, otherwise why do you have it, poverty means that nobody
is on welfare tat isclear sign so you have to close down your welfare department, find something else
for those people to do, so all the related things you have to welfare you close down as you have crossed that level and you
are never going back- city by city, county by county, state by state, it can be done and it will encourage everyone else –
that state can do it, we
can do it
this is the way
to go, so poverty will be the challenge –and once you have solved poverty other solutions come right away, environment
will come right away- like in the case of bangladesh environment and our survival is an integrated problem, we are the ones
on the front line – eliminated by global climate change because of our flat country, so for us its such an important
issue
the united states missed the whole leadership on the global warming issue, never got to the
Kyoto protocol and as a result the whole world got derailed,..so now is the chance to go back to preparing
for the 2012 UN binding resolution .. that way you n=know where you are
the moment government becomes serious
, technology starts going in, its not a question of it cant be done , simply we have to make a serious commitment that we
will do it-the moment we make the serious commitment, technologies will come , how do we replace the things that are causing
the problem, replacing them with new technology without harming anyone in any way
the present
way of living life in a way which might enjoy life today but may be harming someone else’s life somewhereon the planet, its not a good feeling: I am doing something that puts someone else life at stake because of the way
I do things – so the basic principle we should all adopt, every child should be taught, every family be taught my way
of living should not harm anyone else, and that’s how I would like to live
its
possible once you make that commitment all the environmental problems will be solved
we will set the goal of ending all deaths from malaria by 2015 Thursday 25 sept 2008

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"

Extracts from inaugural yes we can (under 30s interactions) newsletter:
Dear Alex & DC Micro-Up practice groups -footnote peter and NY practice groups
Do you have any time on Thursday 22 Jan to meet Jerry and me. I suggest this meeting as
jerry's team http://www.microventuresupport.org/ serve as practical implementers of microfranchises - particularly those which groups like NY's http://www.reachthechildren.org/ may want to develop as social businesses in partnership with deep microcredits including the jamii boras and fincas and ASAa of
Africa world as well as Grameens etc in the east hemisphere. Jerry is also managing editor USA for a leading Indian microcredit
newsletter. My grandad was mentored for 25 years by Gandhi face to face - barrister to barrister in
Mumbai - on how all imperalism busting is ultimately a 3-in-micro-up entrepreneurial revolution against empires historic monopplies of profession, education and media. So there is hope that Indian media will give at least
50% share of voice to microcredit busienss models governed by the oorest not by wall street's advertising agencies.
I
think this search -and open network cataloguing - for practice cases has a synergy that may be interactive with
university micro clubs; with clinton uni; with 10000 person collaboration festivals in boston and other yes we can
green happenings or replications of for-the-community banks across main street which eg Grameen America is now aiming to extend
to the unbanked in 5 new states every 6 months or so after the first year of proving how to do it in queens new york
I
am also excited alex by the fact that you already have micropractice experience from school. So for all these sorts of reasons
I think having a quick first meeting with jerry and I may be mutually beneficial
you mentioned over in new york that you may know a lady who has jumped ship from big banking to starting
a micro fund for social business cases in africa; is there a chance of meeting her while the new york festivities are going
on jan 26, 27 - I think we need to connect the dots between potential funders, youth searching out how micro works opposite
from macro, and the most replicable collaboration frabchises the end poverty and yes we can world needs. The collaboration
network with the best package catalogue to replication franchises seems to me to be the one that can best serve Obama and
thence the worldwide; doubtless I am oversimplifying but only by a tad; the idea of searching out 30000 replicable projects
ahs 25 years support among thos economists aware of schumachers view of how to end povery

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.
