What this is all about?

Grameen means "rural" or "village" in Bangla, so literally this translates to 'Stories from the Village.' I travelled to Bangladesh in 2010 and did an Internship with the Grameen Bank and was amazed by the people there especially in its rural villages. The 'desh' and its people are an inspiration and will always have a special place in my heart.

Since then, I continually see how important villages are, be it in rural Bangladesh, or in urban core neighbourhoods in Canada. A strong village is what brings people together and welcomes newcomers and supports those in need. Villages are what I fight for and this blog is how I do it.

Partnership with Pinball Clemons and BetheGame!

It is an exciting time for the club. I met with Michael Pinball Clemons two weeks, and he loved what we were doing. So I am now working with him and his great friend Joe Drexler at BetheGame to help raise money for both microfinance projects and sponsoring and supporting kids in local sports!

The energy that the two of them give off is incredible. I am now trying to see if Western will let us have a big media day on Wednesday / Thursday where we can sell BetheGame apparel to support our causes. Michael Clemons and some of the Argos might be able to make it out to promote it as well! It is inspiring to work with them, and to think that they want to work with me!

Cheers
