Soon after Fazle Aded Died Dec 2019 Yunus posted this - as now the last vilage diarist of women empowerment

Since 2007 we have sampled 2000 yunus social busiens book; 10000 graduate journalist dvds made the week the Nober committee opened Yunus museum summer 2008 a slighly nelated 68th birthf=day party we have helped host his 69th birthday party wished in Dhaka bring eg the BBC's number 2 nature coorespondent paul rose, at the time the british embassy's number 1 education connectir dominic register, the ceo of brac bank and the corporate brand designedr of brac as well as numver 2 filmaker from Paris pof "Yunus Movie" and various London friends who had attended be 2008 last public birthday party of my dad The Economist's Norman Macrae with Yunus as chief guest. Fatrher's last article was on Yunus on his recognition taht subprime crisis might put v=back millennails a decade from theur aim to be first sd generation and was also the main concern of The Economist Boiardrro,'sremebrance party to dad  entrepreneurialrevolution.avi

Ij asembling yunusmooc.com we want to index the top 10 lessons from Yunus that you cannot necessairy learn from studying abedmooc.com by itself

10

you need to go to abed first to understand how village women 1970s on were empowered to build last mile health services that ultimately raised life expectancy by 20 yeras reducing infant and maternal deaths close to worldwide norms; also to understand how education systems were designed by and with vilage mothers- in fact both abed and yunus celebrate action learning methods which they cite (Brazilian Francsican) Paulo Freire pedagogy of oppressed as founder of. Both abed and yunus transformed women from being histirically regarded as a week underclas into doing majority of vuilage/community development and becasue this directly saved the lives of children male respect for women in Bnagaldehs is higher than any other muslim nation of comparative wealth- it is higly likely with both abed and yunus that bangaldesh would be as dangerous to itself and regional neighbors as sady eg Afghanisatan is today; moreover Bangladesh has had to show more resielince to the refugee crisis caused by Myanmar 

as stated in the introduction to this web my father in 2008 saw 2 hugeky imporerant topics yunus amplified round the woprld- how will a superport infrastructure come to the region

will subprime destroy millennials futures in 2010s; on both of these issues he was tirless in us debates - whilst even obam's admoinsytration did not directly respond Yunus had us connections since his fulbright scholarship with van b=der bilt 1966- he had lobbied dc during 1971's war od independence; in comparison abed's unique relationships were with the 3 main empires to have imacted asia'[s b=history britain where he studied at glasgow and then on=btained hu=is job at roral durch shell; netwirherlands where he finally located his global office; Japan 

7 Yunus most unique contribution to what we can call aid 2.0 before (monile/solar0 was builiding vilage models with 60by 60 eie 3600mothers; niftier than abeds 15000 vilage models ; in other words while abed's foundations were sustaining meta-vilages of 100000 people at a time - yunus tag=rgeted 20000 vu=ilage mothers- approximately a banking team of 6 were expected to visit each of the 60 gtameen centres weekly; in general yunus bankers wer much younger than abe'd vilage empowerment hubs; 

fsoon after the grameen bank ordinance in 1983 yunsu initayed grameen dialogue with the help initially of american journalists as bootcamps for perhaps 20 u=international visitirs to learn- it was these dialgues that made him worldwide more famous than abed to theextent that mucrocreditssummit hosted annualy and initially lanucnhed by queen sofial and the clintons made yunus the number 1 celebruty of banking for the poor- however in spite of all the advocacy and estanblishing grameen trust international traijing, graneenb foundation as fudn alex counts started raising in usa amd relationships wuth sam daley harris and vidat jorgenssens as 2 americans critical to Yunus in America- it is not clear today which microcredit models survived without being taken over by parties that have ultimately diluted yunus visiosn; in this regard the abed moeel remains Bamgladesh's ultimate change to finacial service market designs

ftom approcimatelty 1996 both yunus and abed race to design leapfrog partnershisp by celebraing mobuile phone and solars potential trabsformation to vilage life; theiur intital diocuses are different- yunus aims to empower vilage telephne girls- with one franchsie per cenetre of 60 she hires her phone to rest of teh centre and becaosme  the centres quasi mucro yellow pages of whi to connect; abed was fra more concerned in making first use of digital to enjsuringa bout 20 national value chains remained eladers for the poor and not losing to other players in the sectir;-ultyimately gramen phone became bangaldesh's bigegst comapny but only third owned on behalf of grameen banks vailagers and brac beceomae the largesyt noigo partnership in the world; 

at yunus 70th birthday wush party hosted with smnurgi=hiba sxholars in Glasgow we launnced the jouyrnal of socail bueibess around yunsu and cemented the origins of the c=virtually free nurse training odel of grameen- both are lasting legacies with the bangladesh diaspora in scotland launching a second hournal of new economisc and preparing to celebrate in june 2023 the connections between bangaldesh women empowerment, all asia billion girls empowermemt, the economist end poverty and tech diaries 1843-1993 all c-sharing 265 smithian moral sentimenst summist and what we value as bangladesh's education models (microeducation summit)

in america yunus daughter has co-created a leading model of how young musician and theatrical arts can support each other and a city's youtth engagement while designing this to be a resilient legacy of yunus

since losing his bank in 2010 yunus has built the yunuscentre model- quite how this meiates hos legacy  in abb=ddition to monica netiwrksis still to be seen
