xxupdate now we biden unite
just wondering do you happen to know anyone near the epicentre of xprize-mail below looks quite fun idea of what to do in 2021- it seems to get in the middle of humanising tech races in ways i cannot find many people chatting about in soros public grant process which opens it portal for 14 days on dec 1
i think now understand where/when soros first heard of sir fazle abed from 2004
basically soros sponsorship from 2000 of boston's jim kim/paul farmer to tackle how slow the fda and national centre of health were being on the combined threat of aids and tuberculosis led kim to fingd brac's bottom up health service- which became the gates health prize to abed of 2004
soros states he actually travelled xmas 2006 to be shown round bangladesh by fazle abed
by sept 2007 soros was hosting this event in new york promoting fazle abed
its a very interesting audio - inter alia it explains how soros found dean of medical school at colunbia university to chair launch of brac usa before lincoln chen took over this role-
(brac had not been international to the refugee crisis caused after us invasion of afghanistan 2001-the aftermath as a refugee crisis seemed to abed similar in needing village soutions to bangladesh 2002) -- a bangladesh registered ngo cannot do aid abroad so bracusa, bracuk needed to become funders for international work and the neterlands became ops and total investment centre including where possible digital remittances)
complicated but it also explains how leadership moving parts of brac intelligence- and perhaps most of its biggest partnerships) moved ever away from the family and their ngo
there are at least 2 strange things on the soros side of this
while soros was the first person to fund village mobile experimements in bangladesh1996 he never claims this even though this led the mit-quadir family from grameen to http://www.bkash.com the main model of digital banking for a billion unbanked and in spite of soros making his fortune by beating up on paper currencies greatest failures
although soros must of known abed's biggest futures project became coalitions of universities in 2011- neither of them really mentioned this when soros awarded abed the 20th and grandest open society laureate celebration budapest 2013 to the extent that i get the felling none of the 30 people most organising osun out of new york state are aware of even a 30 minute module on sir fazle abed transformation of aid, health , education etc
the current pitch for million dollar grants mentions south asia as a specific focus but does not refer to brac
i sincerely hope the back channel plan of soros edu coalitions is different - but then we come up with the difficulty that there are two other groups who are used to getting all of geroge soros quality time and money in new york- the economists who hate the idea that soros legacy may move to education insead of economists
the open society foundation whose top board excludes technologists, relies on botstein as its only working vice chancellor, and which while soros was under 90 probably retained his common sense - the more you look at the board the more peculiar it is Global Board - i dont see anyone on it whose life has experienced how asians two third of world have developed since 1945 or how history before that had drawn up all sorts of borders suited only to most one-sided currency ever used to trade - pound sterling
|
oh well all errors mine alone - but singapore was always the first coalition partner abed hoped for from my notes
and for many reason singapore may be the only place i asia that trump foreign policy hasnt messed with just as government ai needed linking together if sdgs were ever to unite human beings

soros was one of only two people in the world from 1950 on with deep practical knowhow of currencies on both sides of the atlantic led him to see exponential consequences of pound and euro
in the case of the pound he made his billions by betting against politicians trying to prop up the old empire's contraction;
in the case of the eu he could increasingly see the euro was being designed to damage border countries inside or outside the eu- timing critical responses became critical in 1984 as the countdown to the fall of the berlin wall became clear at the economist
so he founded the open society and central european university with particular
focus on these regions which included his birthplace hungary
notably, soros almost uniquely among worlds richest men is happy to put his money behind innovating whats right not necessarily success - entrepreneurship is about try try ry again but hopefully conceive small and once seen to work replicate big
from the mid 1990s soros was first to empower mobile experiments with poorest villagers in bangladesh- in this led to how some huge asian populations escaped west's subprime trap and innovated fintech for smes and poorest- the places empowering women to build sustiainable finance had preceded this with barefoot girls medics networiing- soros somewhat accidentally found this out when he made another do whats righ investment in jim kim and paul farmer 2000s work to change the global value chain round last mile health of those suffering from tb or aids/hiv
lets return to tour1a - to map hubs shaping the legacy as well as the currency the educational world that all 32= billion dollars of soros philanthropy =we start in ny region hs 21st c hime-space, go next to his birth region budapest and central european university connectos eg vienna, pass through middle east west europ south asia and africa as well as add in wherever virtual leafrogs to techs of health, finance and education rise eg boston
thee are many ways to tour with soros- from 2019 all his32 billin dollars of societal support are being integrated aroundOSUN Open Society University Networking. To hub this - natural starting points are:
USA
ny state - region spros lives and where he partners bard university which over more than 40 years has led arts and experiential learning refrmation out to usa
ny is where all global boards of soros open society coalitions are orchestrated as well as where bard tests early college formats-typically offering studemts of diversity a different bridge into college than old high scholl classrooms unchanged in usa for over a century
since start of 21stcentury wizards out of boston have connected the deepest philopantropic expoentials applied to health eg kim and famers workin haiti, peru, for soros in russia
mobile finance work hubbed out of mit where bangladesh becane the first lab with extra muslm investment funds eg legatum dubai, the toyota mid east franchise abdul latif-
since 2019 phoenix - arizona state system to help lead online edu worlwide
east europe
vieena which since 2019 has been location of soros uni - central european
budapest his home town, where he hoped for 30 years schoars of celebrating central europe would linkin following fall of berlin wall and the opportunity for 19 countries to be reborn
east europe
warsaw always a priud city for its peopleindepene- home of solidatite coalitions thanks to the shipworker unionlead lech wlsa of dgansk
ukraine a country which from its rebirth soros understood as at risk of becoming a pawn between gernan doinated eu which needed russia's energy, russia which hated losing the odessa port, and more recently usa because of trumps version of supreme leadership
middle east
palestin al quids uni
also co-parners already mentioned out of bugai and with mid east toyota
rest europe
london was a home space for soros in 80s until he moved to new york- to this day his global board of open society and his bottom yp ineteonomics.net run out of new york featrure some of britain's most curius economists
berlin the main european branch of bard college
rome with gorbachev co-foundr of open society- gorbachev hubs out of the club of rome famos for its green netwrks to organise the annual summity of nobel peace laureates

soros parnerships with brac include sierra leone and liberia
========================
more on conscious money makers tour 1b
he stared to make billions by betting against governments inflating by printing more paper rather than admit decline in value of curency necessary if people were to keep jobs- by 1972 the economist predicted that paper currency would pose the biggestexponential risk to globalisation being designed for big get bigger not communities blossom as more diverse. from late 1970s soros began being the first billionaire philanthropist of the post indstrial age- one of the greatleades of curriculum of entreprenurial revoltionublished in the economist 1976 and trnslated by a young romano prodi
