Muhammad Yunus- 2006 Nobel Peace Prize


Muhammad Yunus delivered his Nobel Lecture, listen or read text, on 10 December 2006 at the Oslo City Hall, Norway. He was introduced by Professor Ole Danbolt Mjøs, Chairman of the Norwegian Nobel Committee. Professor Yunus begins his Nobel Lecture with a few words in Bangla.
Here is a link to the Grameen Group, they have done some amazing work in the past 3 decades by the grace of God.
Muhammad Yunus achieved his PH.D in economics in 1969 at Vanderbilt University in Nashville and taught Economics at Middle Tennessee State University until 1972 before going back to his home in Bangladesh.
The FUND of America is honored to be missioned to help spread this concept in America. America's social entrepreneurs have the ability to relieve many of the burdens that seem to be difficult for our government to address. By doing so, the day may come soon when we have true statesmen leading our country, and true citizens leading our people, both through accountability.
