Banker to the Poor

I recently read the inspiring story of Muhammad Yunus recorded in the New York Times BestSeller "Banker to the Poor". This book concreted in my heart a desire to be actively involved in changing the world. Working within his circle of influence Muhammad has been able to create a social venture that has affected the lives of millions of people in many countries. Detailed in this book are the highlights of Muhammad Yunus traits that have enabled him to create lasting social change. Also the book details the challenges face by his organization the Grameen Bank.

This is a book that will change you. It will change your heart, thoughts, and actions. Realizing that we are all empowered. We can make changes. We need to support programs that are succesfully running micro-credit and micro-franchising.

Realizing that he can act and can make a difference lead Yunus to create on the most successful social venture of all time. I highly recommend reading his story.
