 June 2009 Events
Join us this JuneThe Goldin Institute is pleased to announce that in June, we will be visited by two of our key contacts in Bangladesh. Monower Mostapha and Khushi Kabir will join us for two weeks from June 8th-June 19th. Monower is a Goldin Institute Associate in Bangladesh and has been at the heart of planning and developing the Institute's projects in Bangladesh.
Khushi Kabir is the Coordinator of Nijera Kori, a vital partner on the Institute's “Improving Microcredit: Listening to Recipients” project in Bangladesh and an ongoing partner in our community-based oral testimony and engagement project in Bangladesh. Kabir’s work with Nijera Kori aims to politically empower the downtrodden populations of Bangladesh. Based on their belief that the strategy of conscientization is a solution to the growing problem of aid dependency, Nijera Kori has organized over 175,000 landless people in Bangladesh’s rural areas since its inception in 1980. Khushi Kabir was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 2005.
Khushi and Monower will speak at a number of events in their two weeks here. We hope that you will have a chance to join us for one or more of the events. A rough schedule of these events include:

Khushi, Monower, and Goldin Institute staff will speak on panels and roundtables at the conference addressing "Measuring Success: Microfinance, Social Impacts and Listening to Borrowers", "Partnerships for Community Engagement", and "Informed Decisions: Research, Grantmaking, and Social Change."
