Then I read this…

This is a very powerful book that moved me deeply.  (I think I underlined half the book!)

This is Yunus’ story encompassing his childhood, then following his time in the US where he rushed to help gather support for the independence of Bangladesh from Pakistan in 1971.  He then returned home to help build this new country.  After a few years back home, he watched thousands of people dying around him during the famine, which also inspired George Harrison and Ravi Shankar to do their Concert For Bangladesh.  It was from this suffering that the idea for what became his extraordinary work began.

A must read!
