some more awesome quotes from such a great book:

"from then on, constance became a great storyteller for our new organisation, helping wealthy and poor alike understand the power of giving each individual the tools of credit so {they} would have the potential to change {their own lives}. "we are not handing out gifts," she would say, "but are bringing forth the gifts inside the people themselves"."

and then some lessons learned:

"i learned the importance of giving different kinds of people seats at the table early {in the process of establishing a microfinance organisation} in order to bring ideas to reality."

and then my fave quote:

"i didn't fathom then that most big dreams originate in someone's living room, with a small group of people, regardless of where they come from, or how they are dressed."
