Nobel Peace prize

Bangladesh's Muhammad Yunus and the Grameen Bank have been awarded the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize.

What an amazing story. Make you wonder if this can work elsewhere, can it work here? Do people trust each other to lead money without any collateral? I mean we all need a few bucks now and then but can we really use the honor system?

It goes to show you that for $27.00 you can help save a woman. It is such a simple thing but how dramatic the effect was, this type of ripple effect. Concentric circles that lead to changes, that can change a person, a village, a life, a community, a country and our world? If only people were receptive.
