Watch the End of Poverty

This video is definitely worth watching - with lots of references to micro-credit - in the context of making UN statistics tell stories - presented by Hans Rosling, a remarkable Swedish Professor of International Health. His message is truly inspiring - Seemingly impossible is Possible - and if you watch the video to the end you will see what he means!

His Trendanalyzer software can be seen on the website of the Gapminder Foundation. His blog is here.

Once again, thanks to Lilly’s brilliance at finding golden links on the web!

Excellent, Barud!

Thank You! I’ve been working on correlating World Bank statistics to illustrate the links between CO2 and national debts with the London Metropolitan University - with a ‘woman returner’, for whom work experience is more important than money.
