Here is our Operation HOPE chief technology officer, Allen Yekikian, working to resolve some HOPE technology issue while standing in the snow in an Armenian city! And he is on vacation, no less (smile). HOPE literally never sleeps!
A special thank you to Allen Yekikian and his right arm Sevan Torossian for all that they do to advance digital empowerment and the silver rights movement at Operation HOPE.
I was honored to be in Morocco recently, speaking as the closing keynote for the annual meeting of the African Securities Exchange Association and before 22 CEOs for their respective country's stock exchanges, throughout the whole of Africa. More than 400 delegates attended from countries beyond the African continent, and I was also thrilled to again spend some time with my friend and our HOPE Global Board of Advisors' Chairman, Mr. Sean Cleary, whom I lovingly refer to as the "South African James Bond." Mr. Cleary, a legend in South Africa who helped to draft the South African Constitution, was also a featured speaker. The conference was organized, hosted and held by my friend and fellow global advisory board member Karim Hajji, CEO of the Casablanca Stock Exchange.
The launch the Arabic contextualized version of our Banking on Our Future financial literacy curriculum, and a featured part of our Wikia-HOPE Global Money, Morocco Initiative, was no small feat. The actual work to get this done came through the staff of the CSE (for whom I and we are very thankful), but the importance of getting this done, and at this particular time and place in history cannot be understated.

Casablanca CEO, Karim Hajji and HOPE Founder John Hope Bryant announce fully adapted Arabic version of financial literacy empowerment curriculum at 2011 ASEA Conference

Marrakesh, Morocco--Casablanca Stock Exchange (CSE) CEO Karim Hajji, and Operation HOPE [HOPE] Founder, Chairman and CEO John Hope Bryant, announced during the 15th ASEA Annual Conference, held in Marrakesh from December 11-13, that the Global Money Wiki site will offer fully adapted or “contextualized” version of HOPE’s financial dignity curriculum based on Moroccan banking system starting in January 2012.
“Harnessing the power of the internet, the Wikia-HOPE Global Money Initiative seeks to provide the poor and under-served around the world over with a first-ever empowerment resource: a free global and fully downloadable financial literacy curriculum, based on the banking and financial systems relevant in each community,” said Bryant. “It is our belief that this tool will help thousands of Moroccans build better futures for themselves as well as boost Africa’s growing economy,” Hajji continued.

For the first time, we celebrated the Global Dignity Day in Afghanistan. The GD country chair went to a school in a suburb of the capital Kabul where he talked to a group of students and their teachers about GDD and its aims. Both the students and teachers in the school liked the idea and made contributions by talking about the dignity theme and narrating their personal stories and experiences.
The class teacher also narrated a couple of stories while explaining the importance of helping others and being nice to eachother.
Both the students and teachers promised that while keeping the GDD message in mind, they will celebrate the day every year.
Global Dignity was co-founded by HRH Crown Prince Haakon of Norway, Professor Pekka Himanen of Finland, and John Hope Bryant, founder of Operation HOPE of the United States. Global Dignity is affiliated with the Forum of Young Global Leaders and the World Economic Forum.
