Grameen Bank sets up in the US

Last week, Muhammad Yunus - who is the pioneer of microfinance - was in NY.  He's starting up a branch of his bank, Grameen, in the US.  In fact, there have already been $350,000 loans disbursed.  Some of the borrowers include the Dominican community of Corona and a group from the Bangladeshi community in Woodside. 

Yunus also spent time with the media, such as CNBC.  Here are two video clips:
