Who has not heard of Grameen Bank?

Grameen Foundation based in

get microcredit financing -- of course, it would all depend whether
you a) qualify; and, b)
fulfill their requirements.
Link TV |
Television Without Borders. This is a TV Channel that has a
very thought provoking line-up. Whether it is a film, a
documentary or an interview, you know that the information you
receive will be something that you will not see or hear through
the usual channels. Their music is also delightful -- very
diverse. Unfortunately, while there are a few groups and
individuals from India and one from Pakistan (a very old one);
one from Bhutan? there is nothing from Sri Lanka, Nepal, Afghanistan,
Bangladesh and the Maldives. May be we need to inform the
groups and individual singers from these countries that this is an
option they can explore?
