Are the poor credit worthy? Professor Muhammad Yunus of Bangladesh was teaching economics when a chance conversation changed his notions about economic development assistance. The result was the creation of the micro-credit revolution. Dawn Johnston-Pott of United Nations radio talks with Dr. Yunus. At the crux of much development work are the issues of birth control and population stabilization. These are controversial areas but ones which have long-term implications. We will talk with Dr. Nils Delair (spelling uncertain) who is the Deputy Assistant for Policy for the US Agency for International Development. China's ultimate leader Deng Ziao Ping died recently. There has been much analysis about how things might change in China following his passing. Paul Bell looks a the possible effects on religious freedom. The Least of These is a weekly radio program produced by HCJB, The Voice of the Andes in Quito, Ecuador, South America. The title of the program comes from the biblical reference in Matthew 25:40 where Jesus Christ said, "I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to me. Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me."
