Microcredit and Social Business
Building a Yunus youth movement around social business

Steps around building a youth network around the Yunus and Grameen experience

please can we try and restore yunus mindset youth ambassador 5000 as a top 50 yunus project

From christopher macrae to mostofa12, naila, estelle.eonnet, rosecomms, samdharris, Nazhat, Vivian, olivier.maurel, christemple8, alexmsimon, rachel, me, Alexis, oneil.caitlin, Tom, Zoe, lesley.williams

tell me when you have fixed an appointment with mrs begum- I would like to list some ideas you might discuss - for example could you both ask yunus to renew the youth 5000 ambassasior idea- different sources cpould take charge for their own invites and membership

0 the origin of muhammadyunus.org as expatriate youth chapter forums in major cities is worth another shot as a 40th celebration of all that bangladesh has inspired around the world - the global economiic press is raisning the question what are the dreams of bangaldeshis and we dont have an organsiased way of writing letters to answer the press's question

1 eg an email could be sent to interns saying if you want to be yunus youth ambassador please say what you have done since intern and mrs begum coukld judge

2 hans and lamiya could choose their own

3 we could relaunch this so microcreditsummit could choose theirs at summit in madrod

4 clearly naila knows of various youth and tech networks that can be interesting - and we may be able to braoden that if we cfan interest eg vidar in how many tech alumni of mit could be interested, and there are various ways grameen solutions can be piloted to see ifr in a particular country there is a founding youth club - eg refugee microcredit is a youth club well worth linking up in usa now if hilary is to stand a chance of heading world bank; and an exptraiate chinese network that supports jack ma and yunus needs identifying as fast as we can virally use the net

5 danone communities could choose its ambassadors

6 monica yunus could choose hers

7 paul might be able to get british council or royal geo society to chose some climate ambassadors to overlap with youth ambassadors

8 zoe could chosse some of her 10000 girls

9 if we can mrs begum to visist cms we can gel lucknow to choose some ganhian world citizens

9a the wretched youth centres/movements whose planting across uk cities is supposed to be the crwoning joy of the us olympicfs could at lesst nominate a youth leader in each city even if it takes longer to plant this than the olypics committee with its lack of roots in communities promised

10 the reality is after 4 years of talking about it there isnt a single yunus student social business club in usa- what we always needed was a hotline so that those who do try to start this can shared experinecs of what works and be parised in journal of SB; they merit some special support from yunus even if it was a once a quarter teleconference; it is absolutely bizarre that usa youth would head microcredit clubs seeing them as career paths but as yet we have so failed to make it evident that social buisness is the only ideology that can reform macroeconomics that youth dont see career opportunities in heading social business clubs- unless this can be changed at madrid microcreditsummit I dont really see microcredit ever grwoing again at the level it did in 2000s

we need yunus and youth identity to get stronger and stronger because all of yunus exciting projects of 2010s depend on youth getting more and more voice as well as raising their enterpreneurial productivity

we need a forum in which youth can exchange their own peer movements - both peer loans and peer knowhow training

I would strongly recommend that yunus build this now - and aims to make sure that monica linksin as she understands his youth mission better than anyone apart from himself
