Chris Macrae resides in London and is a big believer in the work of Prof. Yunus. In the Autumn of 2007 he made an advance order for 1000 copies of his latest book, “Creating a World Without Poverty”. He did this to create a social network of book club readers for the year of 2008, in celebration of his father’s 85th year as a journalist of entrepreneurial revolutionaries.
Prof Yunus’ book is concentrated on the idea of Social Business, businesses set up and intended to produce great social impact within a sustainable business framework.
In January this year, Chris visited Prof. Yunus in Bangladesh. He describes Prof Yunus as a man who has worked so that “every investment has increased personal productivity and communal sustainability.”
“Best of all, the second you get in the presence of Prof. Yunus it’s such great fun, rejuvenating, and even a fifty something can feel the joy of being a Green Child when in his company.”
“I have an eleven year old daughter and see ending poverty not just as a developing world mission but one which will determine whether her worldwide generation compounds true and sustainable futures.”
Chris is very active in promoting the work of Prof. Yunus and has set up the following websites:

During this week, two teenagers lent their talent to a new video we are making for our foundation. By giving their time and sharing their gift for drumming, they have contributed to our effort in spreading awareness.
Jasper Robards and Spencer Hoyt are our first featured ‘Green Child’ members. Look out for more featured members coming soon.
If you have a talent, why not use it for a good cause? If you’re a painter, poet, film maker or graphic designer, make something we can use or auction. Contact us, we’d love to feature you.
