Grameen Telecom success story

http://www.grameenphone.com/index.php?id=79

Check out the above link to read about the Grameen Village Phone Program. It's just amazing how ordinary people can, together, do extraordinary things.

Grameen Bank is the bank created by Dr Muhammad Yunus, the Nobel Prize winner of 2006 for Peace and the creator of the micro-credit concept.

The huge success of the Grameen Village Phone Program inspires me to create a similar program, where any person can sell my knowledge-packed DVD to others so everybody can be empowered!

Notice, as you read more about this success story, how the poor women in that country focus on "economic value" and not on "jobs." The women who borrow from the Grameen Bank are entrepreneurs and salespeople, not employees.

As a result, they have direct control over the outcome they produce and, therefore, over the amount of income they receive.
