GLOBE Gazette September - October 2011 | | Grand Opening of the Grameen America Bronx Branch
Office
John Kenny The opportunity to see Muhammad Yunus at the Bronx Museum of the
Arts for the opening of the Grameen Bank’s new Bronx branch helped
make the bank a more real, tangible entity in my mind. Grameen’s
work intrigued me from the moment I read about it, but it also
seemed like a distant, foreign idea rooted half a world away. |

GLOBE Gazette April - June 2011 | | Looking Back at Spring 2011 The Globe managers worked hard to achieve their goals for the
semester, and in the end, went far beyond their initial
expectations. The managers worked in their respective teams,
managing and implementing ideas and plans that kept the program’s
progress as the main focus. They organized events, created
marketing campaigns, developed a new promotional item, gave out new
loans and fundraised to add to the GLOBE Fund. |

GLOBE Gazette January 2011 | | We Believe… That micro-lending will only successfully alleviate poverty if
loans are designed with the borrowers in mind, and not the other
way around. Microfinance is not a field firms should enter to reap
large monetary rewards or high returns on investment. When done
correctly, profits for firms are minimal, but the quality of living
in the communities in which micro-lending is successful increases
dramatically because borrowers are empowered to help themselves and
their neighbors. |
