christopher macrae
(draft) Week 17 countdown newsletter to Yes We Can and Micro-Up youth dialogue being hosted in Dhaka by Muhammad Yunus and microcredit leaders 23rd June 2009
0.1 Since the 7 million female members of Grameen Bank and 1 man won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2006, Muhammad Yunus has spoken publicly to over 50,000 youth. June 23 dialogue is intended as opportunity for a cross-section of youth and education entrepreneurs to participate in debriefing Dr Yunus and other microcredit leaders in Dhaka, to suggest collaboration projects and what help social business entrepreneur networkers most urgently need with particular focus on two turn of the decade crises: *The meltdown in global financial institutions along with the recognition that decade-long failures to invest have occurred in markets vital to youth such as renewable energy and community job creation *The deviation from millennium goals – can you help us monitor which countries other than Bangladesh are on track
0.2 If you have suggestion of content links to this newsletter please email by Friday midday Washington DC time (5.00pm GMT). Typically the newsletter will be edited and sent out during that weekend. Week 17 is an exception being preceded by this draft version. We ask for any comments on sections we should add or alter.
2.1 Examples of collaboration initiatives being prepared by june 23 timeline *Goal link 1000 social businesses in an open web catalogue http://socialbusiness.tv *Identify a menu of 10 or more microcredit franchises whose replication has segmented application across USA communities provided Bernanke helps change what laws *Develop an open grading/nominations system of Bangla5000 being a register of 5000 youth ambassadors and mentors inspired by replicating collaboration innovations from Bangladesh to other communites in most desperate need of micro-up services. This idea was first coceptualised during Microcreditsummit Bali 2008. If it were possible one day soon to develop Microyouthsummit as a // networking process designed to achieve as heroic a goal as 1997's of reaching over 100 million poorest families with microcredit (achieved 08) that would be a goodwill multiplier worthy of networks and youth.
3.1 Correspondence such as letters being written to opinion leaders who may be able to contribute causal testimonies on what Soros has called fallibility era-
To Margaret Blair, VanderBilt – when we interviewed you in spring 2001 you had completed year 2000 publication of the survey of 50+ experts (Unseen Wealth, Brookings) and presented findings on how risk would compound unless a missing goodwill/transparency audit was included in governance of large corporations and other global systems. Do you have a copy of that presentation or other content that we can share with youth networks preparing for a Yes We Can dialogue in Dhaka with VanderBilt alumnus Muhammad Yunus
4 Chartering entrepreneurial, collaborative networking and microeconomics values we try to live, learn and collaborate around. (please help iteratively edit)
Everyone is a microentrepreneur
No creed, demographic, locality is to be excluded from sustainability’s compound social economics purposes of integrating micro up globalisation.
Our (network) generation’s united space race is to see poverty museums blossoming everywhere. This can be a more relevant league table for broadcast and interactive media than any world cup, olympics league of champions or other celebrity platform.
Impossible becomes possible when right actions time place people link in.
The millennium goals are humanity’s greatest leadership/responsibility consensus. Each and all of us, in our geographies of communities and nations, and our virtual knowhow replicating spaces can strive to help each other get back on track to achieving these goals. This will generate healthy economies as well as inspire actions and learnings children of century21 have a right to expect elders to be transparently resolving and truly innovating now.
