Prof. Yunus, in a letter to the members of the Grameen Bank on your departure from the bank in 2011 you wrote "I thought that if I were to lend money to the poor, than the villagers could be free from the grasp of the loan sharks. This is what I did. I never imagined that it would become my calling in life." How do you feel about the work you did with the Grameen bank for Bangladesh?
It's a great thing that people responded to it very well. Today, Grameen bank has about nearly 8.5 million borrowers. 97 per cent of them are women and they own the bank. It has grown into a nationwide institution which grants for loans for itself.
We give money so young people from poor families can go into higher education. We created a nursing college, so that the young girls can become good quality nurses. And we have created health care services.
Put a picture of the article so i can help :). i cant know what this article is about with just the question.
<span>After its defeat in World War II, Germany was divided into 4 zones of occupation: 1) Russian (Soviet) Zone, 2) American Zone, 3) British Zone, and 4) French Zone. The city of Berlin, Germany's capital, was totally in the Russian Zone but was also divided into 4 occupation zones. So many people in the Soviet part of Berlin escaped to the free zones of Berlin that the Soviets built a barrier know as the Berlin Wall to stop them. The Russian Zone became known as East Germany and the other three zones became West Germany. This division persisted until the fall of the Berlin wall in 1989 when the two divided parts of Germany re-united into the modern German state.</span>
True.
This was evidenced by the Neutrality Acts of 1930s.
The 1st Neutrality Act was the prohibition of export of "arms, ammunition, and implements of war" from the U.S. to foreign nations at war. The act requires arms manufacturer in the United States to apply for export license before they can exports arms to foreign nations.
The Neutrality Act of 1937 forbids U.S. Citizens from boarding belligerent ships. American ships were also prevented by this Act to transport arms to belligerents even if the arms were made outside the U.S. The Act also gave the President the right to bar belligerent ships from all U.S. waters.
However, there was an exception to this Act. Belligerent nations were allowed, at the discretion of the president, to acquire any items except arms from the United States, as long as they immediately pay for these items and carry them on non-American ships. This provision is called the "cash-and-carry".
The final Neutrality Act was passed on November 1939. This act lifted the arms embargo and put all trade with belligerent nations under the terms of "cash-and-carry". The ban on loans and barring of American ships transporting goods to belligerent nations still remain in effect.
