Welcome to my Blog! I'd first like to say that I am new to this so please bear with me as I get the hang of blogging.
I will be living in Dhaka, Bangladesh for the next 11 months as a Fulbright Student Fellow. During my first two months here, I will be studying at the Bangla Language Institute. After mastering Bangla (or learning as much as I can in 2 months), I will begin my research project.
My host organization, Grameen Shakti, is an arm of Grameen Bank, the pioneer of microfinance. Grameen Shakti (energy) provides small loans for solar panels and other forms of renewable energy in rural villages throughout Bangladesh (nearly all rural villages in Bangladesh have no form of electricity). More to come on my research as it begins to unfold, so keep stopping by my blog.
Thanks for your interest and please stay in touch!
