Am sorry to hear Dr. Yunus is having difficulties, Join me in sending light to strengthen his path, we can as a collective group. I had vision not long ago about business model utilizing stock market. My goal is to make this vision a reality. Business will be called "Stimulo Economico Uruguay". The E has been left off of Estimulo. This 2011 is a very important year, the Angels are very close to earth and are here to assist us pull through the very turbulent times that are coming. Thank you God

this is really sad the way Dr. Yunus being tortured and harrassed by Bangladeshi Political parties. There is no doubt , he's being mistreated by Bangladeshi people and political parties. PM Hassina is a very mean lady. She started hating Yunus , because few years ago, Yunus tried to form a political party. I really feel sorry for Yunus. Dr. Yunus - I pray that may God be with you in your bad days .. but please don't give up your mission . Your work is precious for us.

Working with the poor instead of giving charity is definitely the key to improving the well-being of human kind.

Giving charity is great but you have to keep giving, whereas if we provide the tools that will allow the poor to pull themselves out of poverty...then we solve a very old problem of the vicious cycle of poverty.

Poverty is mainly caused by the lack of access to opportunities, lack of access to finance, technology, education, and other vital needs.
