"Henry Kissinger once described Bangladesh as a 'basket case': a country so hopelessly poor, crowded, and disorganized that it could never feed and educate its people. Ten years ago [1992], a Bangladeshi journalist in Dhaka, the nation's capital, told me of a project that offered hope of proving Kissinger wrong: the Bangladesh Rural Advancement Committee (BRAC)."
