Antipoverty crusader Hugh Evans, cofounder and CEO of the Global Poverty Project. Great speech and what a wonderful ambassador for Australia.
Microcredit pioneer Muhammad Yunus, a Nobel Peace Prize laureate, commended Rotarians for their work in developing microcredit loans for the poor. One of the best presentations that I have ever had the privilege to hear.
