We recently released our educational Microcredit DVD, a professionally produced set of interviews and presentations from the 2008 Rotary International convention. This DVD is a great way to educate yourself and others on Rotarian Microcredit, and can be useful as part of your next Rotary Club meeting.

To help you appreciate the value of this DVD, we have posted FREE on the RAGM YouTube channel the workshop presentation by Chris Crane, CEO of Opportunity International.

To find this free posting, go to www.youtube.com and search for “rotarianmicrocredit”. There you will find Mr Cranes presentation in two parts, because there is a ten minute length limit on YouTube videos.

Opportunity International is one of the first, and largest, Microfinance Institutions in the world. During his presentation, Mr Crane describes how and why microfinance works, particularly when there are Rotarians involved. You may recall in 2008 Opportunity International participated with Rotarians and the Gates Foundation in a $600,000 microcredit project in Ghana, for more info on this visit: www.businesswire.com/news/home/20080929006131/en

By the way, we’ll have the DVDs available at the RAGM booth at the convention this June in Birmingham, England. Please share this YouTube posting with your friends, and help us sign up more new RAGM members, we’re growing quickly and the enthusiasm building around Rotarian Microcredit is tremendous.
