And I thought I'd encourage you by letting you know that my 23-year-old nephew has taken an excerpt with him to Indonesia where he has been 'couch surfing'. Enjoy your journeys of discovery! It takes outer odysseys to learn about one's inner worlds... Never be a tourist though, always be a traveller! With best wishes, Sabine http://yunusphere.net Dear Darwin

Nice to know your concerns and that your heart is for the poor.I was in a similar situation 10years ago-having a heart for the poor.I was a Montessori school teacher when I read about Prof.Yunus`s work ,in Alex Counts book `Give us credit`.That inspired me to replicate the work of Prof.Yunus in Bangalore,amongst poor housholds.Thus was born Grameen Koota which is today serving more than 140,000 poor housholds with credit,insurance and other capacity building services. I invite you to visit our website and if our work interests you--Welcome anytime. Hi Darwin !
