George McLaurin, the first black man admitted to the University of Oklahoma in 1948, was forced to sit in a corner away from his whites. But his name remains on the honor list as one of the top three students in the university. Here are his words:
′′Some colleagues looked at me like I was an animal, no one gave me a word, the masters seemed to be there for me, and didn't take my questions. But I devoted myself so much that afterwards they started looking for me to explain and clarify their questions".
′′The only weapon capable of transforming the world... is EDUCATION′′

A microfinance pioneer from Pakistan — who developed an interest-free microfinance programme — was among Tuesday's winners of Asia's equivalent to the Nobel Prize.

Muhammad Amjad Saqib, 64, won the Ramon Magsaysay Award for his “first-of-its-kind” interest- and collateral-free microfinance programme that catalysed scores of poor households.

Nearly two decades after its launch, Akhuwat — founded by Dr Saqib — has grown into the nation's largest microfinance institution, distributing the equivalent of $900 million and boasting an almost 100 per cent loan repayment rate, the award foundation said.

The Ramon Magsaysay Award — named after a Filipino president killed in a plane crash — was established in 1957 to honour people and groups tackling development problems.
