zara my understanding as 4pm was a good time to meet your profs
" looking forward to seeing you again.
4pm at Georgetown on Tuesday 4/13 is perfect."
I can of course stay on, or we can reconvene half way to alex
aeound 6 or whatever time he chooses
LAST CALL IN WAR BETWEEN MICROECONOMICS & MACROECONOMICS
there are a lot of possible agenda; as well as your own choices
1 I would like to map out how you
cooriate up to 100 of yunus new book
2 I would like to know if anyone feels that 10/11 student clubs need an extended format to include yunus new
passion; caitlin is probably the only us student tohave pioneered 09/10 yunus sb club; either before or after our meeting
you could see wht sh can she with you on skype; similarly sofia, lesley, mamading have sneak previews of yunus book to loan
in kenya
3 I have been told perhaps 5 times by sam that his each way bet (even if yunus spends less time on microcredit) is to champiom kenyan youth microcredit and that
queen sofia fully supports this; so in a way as soon as the kenya summit ends, research demanded by queen sofia becomes the
focus of microcreditsummit for next 18 month
meanwhile londoncreativelabs sofia (the only open job creation SB innovated out of a big capital) and I are trying to encourage
every bangladeshi contact we have made in 4 visits to Dhaka and moderating 1000 bookclub and 10000 dvd club ro
try and get them connecting not separating
4 Moreover
in The Montfort Plan by Georgetown Spaniard Jaime you have a book that out text-books any if the race to end poverty is itself
a pursuit that can yet be given an academic course
what some of us are missing is how much effort yunus
wants to put into technology for the poor and transfering knowhow from the world's most resourced organisations to his grassroots
franchises; at the limit as a media expert I agree with the direction he wants to take but not all of the personal relationship
fights that have started of which the simplest is the loss of his co-founder dipal barua who did so much for energy at www.gshakti.org these are times where we need to keep on cheering the great open stuff within microworld and not get bigged down
by the occasional vanities Or closed shops
we
also need to flatten barriers; I am not too interested in dc students if we cannot connect georegtown and GWU and RHS; thats
not becsue of any lack on your part but I have to focus on what I can leverage - global ad agencies with 33 years
of professional experience, I have nothing to sustain me just trying to transform your univesrities uneconomic ways of examining
you on stuff that is at best irrelevant and in case of a lot fo mba curriculum the wall street problem not the solution -
I will be saying something a bit similar on monday to melissa even though she is one of the few heroines of mine
in US academia; I am rather used to the role of being a stalking horse after which people pick up poeces and put them back
together but this time micro up not macro down; and if you folk dont start that while obama is in power then that's your error
more than mine

dear nazrul
I am sure that lisa and sam will be very busy but please try and check before or when they get
to spain (probably around april 14-18) whether there are any diary overlaps for you to get updated on how to help them
-that is howthe following can help them - yourself, the womens movement that got the UN to award Mrs Begum the prize, other
spanish who spoke on the UN stage and so forth;
the next 19 months spain becomes the joint world centre of
how to summarise and link microcreditsummit knowledge for the future's sustainability - or at least that is how I see it given
Queen Sofia's wishes and what I can map of other knowledge processes that are also collaboratively reforming their
networks for 2010s greatest race (footnote)

chris macrae
as a maths guy who contracted to dr yunus to help with rumors of whats possible my only
value multiplier is that where I dont have complete information I assess the most likely hypothesis; regarding microcreditsummit
my hypothesis is it would not exist in its core form for multiplying goodwill and replicating actions around the
networking world without Queen Sofia; if you disagree with this hypothesis please disregard this mail; if you agree please
action this mail in any way you can

We have to believe in our wish list if we hope to make it come
true. We'll have to create appropriate concepts, institutions, technologies, and policies to achieve our goals. The more impossible
the goals look, the more exciting the task becomes. Fortunately, for us we have entered an age when dreams have the best chances
to come true. We must organise the present to allow an easy entry into the future of our dreams. We must not let our past
stand in our way.
If you were to ask me who has the best chance of coming closer to the realty of 2030, without pausing for
a second I would say that the science fiction writers would be far closer than the expert analysts. The reason is very simple.
Experts are paid to make forecasts on the basis of past and present, but events in the real world are driven by dreams of
people
