To help the poor live with dignity

We were at an event at Oslo University tonight. The MC from the Stomme Foundation in Norway said two things that particularly struck a chord. He said, “When I heard that Muhammad Yunus won the Nobel Peace Prize I felt like I had won the Prize.” I think that lots of hardworking practitioners and supporters around the world feel the same way!

Then he said, “In 1979 the Nobel Peace Prize went to Mother Thersa for her work to help the poor die with dignity. This year the Prize went to Muhammad Yunus for his work to help the poor live with dignity.”

The Nobel Peace Prize Concert was tonight and Monica Yunus sang. She was fabulous!
