"I support Grameen Foundation because they accelerate poverty reduction by systematically extending the reach of microfinance. Inspired by 'Give Us Credit' by Alex Counts, and 'Banker to the Poor' by Dr. Muhammad Yunus, I organized a 'friendraiser' comedy night with several friends who perform improv comedy."

"Kashf Foundation is a microfinance institution in Pakistan...After listening to my friend talk about Kashf’s work and future plans, I immediately knew that I wanted to be a part of its mission of poverty alleviation. I joined...and, in January 2007 was promoted to Head of Operations. In Pakistan, I see microfinance as a key to poverty alleviation...It really attacks at the root – the center point – of poverty."

"In July 2006, I relocated to Shanghai with my family...While here, I knew I wanted to learn as much as possible about China, but I also wanted to take the opportunity to pursue my increasing interest in the world of microcredit. I had watched the microfinance movement - and Dr. Yunus' accomplishments - from the sidelines over the last few years, but, now, living in China, I wanted to finally get involved!"

"Your efforts are really inspiring...Today when I was watching a video on how Grameen foundations works, I was thrilled and excited about whole idea of microfinanance and how it can change people's lives. It is giving them a new life. Kudos for your noble efforts. As my guru says, 'how rich are our lives depends on how deeply we touch another life.' You people are excellent. Keep inspiring people."
