Corona Pandemic: Time Is Running Out Fast, A Letter From Prof. Muhammad Yunus

Harnessing the Power of Networks: Part III – Creating Communities
Building a network requires processes, structure and lots of alignment. But in order for the network to truly work, it requires trust and deep-felt human connection around a common purpose. For over 10 years, YSB has built a strong network and every year we are learning more about the effects of communities and networks. This allows us to address social problems in bold new ways.
