Wait, what are you doing in B'Desh for 12 weeks??

By some miracle I got a William Davidson Institute internship through the University of Michigan to work with CARE Bangladesh (Bangladesh office of ngo CARE International) on a project with female entrepreneurs that it's doing with Danone (yes, like Dannon yogurt).

Danone is doing some cool things in Bangladesh with Grameen Bank, so I'm excited to see what CARE's place in all of this is. Danone and Grameen, through a joint venture called Grameen Danone Foods, Ltd, are producing a low-cost yogurt enriched with vitamins, providing it to Bangladeshis to help fight malnutrition.

More details to come!
