Sofia, New York 24 January 2008 (day
after cc with Dr Yunus -videos)
In his new book Dr Yunus lays out a picture of a world in which social business leads – and because
he has done the practical actions of Grameen 12 Bank over 30 years –proving that the greatest sustainable investments
are in human productivity - this picture can unite all our futures.
He
makes the call for everyone to be a part of it, and inspires me by saying
we can’t create a world without poverty unless everyone feels and wants this as the defining goal of our generation. He goes all the way ; he’s
asked the question : what stops people from achieving their sincerest social goals? He clarifies that if workers in today’s
prominent institutions are being rewarded by quarterly profit extraction
alone, then the majority of “we the people” won't get round to serving social needs - particularly most vital ones of the poorest.
In our newly networked world, democracy ceases to exist
unless we see that we choose what globalisation we get by choosing what organisational models to truly value.
WHERE ARE RISING EXPONENTIALS
OF COMMUNITY HEALTH*WEALTH?
According
to Britain's senior economist and many opinion leaders - eg Bill Clinton -best for world interactions of human sustainability now revolve round
–thousands
of international partnerships governed by social business constitutions
–originating around
4 of the world’s hi-trust entrepreneurs at Grameen- Yunus, Mrs Begum, Professor Latifee and Dipal Barua – and probably a parallel quartet of
community-rising public servants at BRAC originated by Fazle Abed

I
worked as coordinator of the London Bureau of world citizen.tv on research of worldwide goodwill rankings of collaboration
entrepreneurs.
Finding:
Muhammad Yunus was ranked in a league of his own being linked to the most trusted maps of microeconomics on the planet and
practical community-rising revolutions changing such Industry Sector Responsibilities as
banking (microcredit),
networking technologies (mobile
phones),
sustainability
knowledge networks (150,000 village centers, grameen telephone ladies & P2P youth action learning -eg 100000

their issues and locations. Some of our united goals we are always searching for first mover examples of:
first city to train more SMBAs than MBAs
first city to have a widely known register (or
stockmarket) of social businesses where those complying with the governance model defined by Muhammad Yunus are coded to be
identoifiable from those that use less exact valuation definitionsl
intercity exchanges to keep
everyone up to date of the complete catalogue of future capitalism experiments- from the start of yunus bestselling book on
this subject an average of 1 or 2 new multinational social business partnerships between a top of the world corporation and
a Grameen or other grassroots service systems have been announced. About 10 Industry sectors now have at least one best for
world social benkmark of how their industry knowhow can best be used for humanity. Mail map@smbaworld.com if you would like to discuss how we could make a list of global market sctors each worth opver a trillion dollars and possibility
of launch of trillion dollar auditing wherever a sponsor want to bring transparency to whether that sector is comounding human sustainability or te opposite.

July 2008 Project ST2 Videointerviews in Dhaka with Grameen Interns (Sofia*Tav) -
Intern from Michigan - some friends read Dr Yunus' book "Banking
for the Poor" and started an MFI fund at university so I became interested and Grameen is the natural choice; personally,
its been an eyeopener as this my first trip abroad; I note particularly that back in usa people think of "social business"
as a nice but untried theory, over here its business model is a way of life. Finding that social businsss models have lots
of proven -sustainable-deep-purpose - uses over here is my big takeaway from the internship
Chicago
Lake Forest: Advice to interns – be very self-motivated; experience it all but only try to process it later Social business
model potentially a very creative process for business world to engage in – particular interest in interesting how to
connect rural poor both with urban and international markets-
