Amee Patel
She came to Grameen as a seasoned back-packer (India and South East Asia), worked as a volunteer at Katrina aftermath cleanup and had already set her path to be an associate at McKinsey.

She is a fresh graduate from Davidson college, majored in Political Science and Economics and ss the co-editor of "The Davidsonian,” she has found a way to encourage other writers to compose articles addressing diverse religious faiths in addition to reporting other campus news. In the words of one supporter, “she has a genuine interest in the lives of others and is always taking the lead in encouraging respect among people who differ.” In the midst of this and all she does, she always has an ever-ready smile for all she meets.

She was my roomate for the one month she spent in Bangladesh. We philosophised deep into the night about theology and eastern philosophy, explored much of Bangladesh together, shared a room at many Grameen field trips and talked about our dreams and aspirations.
