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.

YAO Project

I now have a actual link to the project that the club is supporting. We are supporting their Village of Opportunity, called Arjona in Colombia. Take a look and even better take a look at our page and you can take a look and donate to our campaign (on the right) supporting the Arjona Project!
