Our next pre- and post- conference mentoring group (mid may to mid august 08) aims to fucus on the top 25 microcreditsummit dialogues - we will prepare mentor group links to this at http://microcredit.tv/; the official summit site is http://www.inamicrocreditsummit.org/

This is the first time the worldwide's most successful network at ending poverty has been hosted out of the Eastern hemisphere. It is a huge oportunity for NW hemisphere delegates to build deeper cultural bridges. Reading the diaries of Mahatma Gandhi is recommended. For those who want a first introduction to the East's Yin & Yangs, Alfonso Lingis, one of Satyagraha's deep western philosophers has donated this debating piece on cultural flows, and the spirit needed to bridge them.

One always sees things in joy. It seems to me that there is a very fundamental

kind of existential decision we make: do we believe our joy or do we believe

our neutral states? In the latter case, the move is always one of prudence -

not to make decisions in a time of enthusiasm when one is carried away,

but rather to wait until everything cools down. I think one of the most

important things there is - I would almost say one could make this a kind of

maxim for life - is to always make decisions in a state of joy. One should

believe one's joy more than one's prudence, or any cautious or fearful state

of mind"...

Obstacles to Dialogue Today, by Alfonso Lingis

1. Cultures in Dialogue

Today the great centers of wealth and power that derive from the production and control of information--Houston, Silicon Valley, the Ruhr, Lyon, Milan, Tokyo-Osaka, Shanghai, Taipei, Seoul, Mexico City, São Paulo--drain off the brain power of the outer zones--the scientists but also writers, architects, artists, and musicians. The planet has also never before seen such immense migrations of poor peoples--so much of it forced or illegal. These people may bring only low-tech work skills, but they bring their cultural identity. The great cultural capitals of proud nation states--Paris, London, New York, Sydney, Bangkok, Singapore--have become multiethnic and multicultural.

But that has always been the case. Mohendo-daro, Memphis and Thebes, Mahabalipuram, Angkor, Djenné Djeno in the Sahel, Teotihuac·n, Qosqo--all the centers of great cultures had been cosmopolitan cities, with markets full of foreign merchants but also with whole quarters of settled foreigners. What we have come to know as distinctive and dominant civilizations--Egyptian, Persian, Chinese, Roman, and Mongolian--were the result of drawing toward themselves resources, artefacts, inventions, and concepts from the most diverse ethnic areas and cultures. Anyone visiting Angkor Wat is struck to see altars on which Hindu deities dance around altars with seated Buddhas, friezes depicting everyday life so obviously carved by sculptors who had come from or gone to Borobudur, Chinese guard lions..

"Different cultures within a region appear to be commenting on one another," anthropologist Shirley Lindenbaum wrote ... continued

goodwill multiplying media project: imagine an igoogle that updates with youtubes chosen by 24 correspondents of communities whose community share of voice mass media forgot -what 24 worlds would you wish correspondents to save: 1 the poor, 2 women, 3 youth ... africa ? america south? china? bangladesh & india? rest east? ... microCredit, microEducation, microHealth, microAgriculture, microGovernment, microConsumerChannels ...

Ad Hoc Proposal for Developing SmBA
Each year, teams stewarding their city or region's qualifications of SmBA will be expected to raise their minimum agreed practices. It is intended that by 2010 there will be an Smba summit modelled as truly as WE can map around the parallel yunus annual wholeplanet celebration of humanity http://microcreditsummit.org The primary work to be eligible for being a joint team leader in your city proposed as at March 2008 is to heave read the book

When the Bottom Line Is Ending Poverty - Business Week
Muhammad Yunus is a humble man who would resist being compared to Mahatma Gandhi. But the two have much in common as campaigners for social progress. While Gandhi's goal was the end of colonialism, Yunus' is just as grand: He means to reform capitalism to make it a tool for ending poverty. Think of him as Gandhi with a BlackBerry (RIMM).

and to post us a bookmark with views on these 3 questions:
what inspired you in the book that you want to be a citizen co-leader of smba

what you commit in the future of life to do differently because of the book

optionally if you have any ideas on how the 5 leading Dhaka team members and the 6.5 billion human beings can get to know how to celebrate humanity by bringing purposeful organisations to every community, please make suggestions

Resources we are asking help in preparing smba curricula:
include a correspondence course of 100+ short youtube videos with practice examples amplifing the books three-in-one social ABC maps

a 40 slide show on 4 topics 0.10 to 0.1 system crashes; 1.10 to 1.1 social Actions, 2.10 to 2.1 social Business, 3.10 to 3.1 Future Capitalism maps

reports from http://wholeplanet.tv/

vote on other temporary resources in whether they are of value - eg here's an audio transcript - I would absolutely love to replace it with someone who is much more fluent at audio interviews - tell us when you have parallel audio transcripts so people can vote'
