During my school’s winter break, I had

the honor of interning at the Yunus

Centre for 3 weeks. The experience was

truly eye-opening and I managed to

gain a snippet of knowledge of the

world-changing potential of social

business philosophy.

In fact, a specific aspect of Professor

Yunus’s philosophy that continues to

inspire me is that social businesses

seek to distribute profits among the

workers and empower the poor, which

serves to create endless opportunities

that end up reshaping the lives of the

underprivileged of Bangladesh. As for

the future of social business, one concept

I was intrigued by was the idea of

establishing social business cities.

Thus, the utilization of Social Businesses

could be used as a means to create

local jobs and services, promoting

social cohesion through the formation

of social capital, and reducing the

burden on government taxation

systems. Ultimately, I believe that establishing

social business cities as global

hubs could effectively be how social

business revolutionizes the world in

the future.

To conclude, I would like to thank Professor

Yunus for the immense inspiration

he has been for me. By working for

the Yunus Centre and learning about

how he pioneered social businesses

and development in Bangladesh, I

solidified my love for giving back to my
