Natalie Portman is saving the world, one college student at a time.

The Village Banking Campaign, an initiative started by the Foundation for International Community Assistance, was announced today on the 10th floor of NYU's Student Kimmel Center overlooking Washington Square Park. FINCA is a micro-banking system that has been around for the past 10 years giving small loans ranging from 10 to 100 dollars to members of the world's poor in Eurasia, Latin America and Africa. AIG, a micro-insurance company also announced its donation of 1.5 million dollars to the bank with a heart. A stunning Her Majesty Queen Rania Al-Abdullah and Natalie Portman spoke about the start of a new FICA program in Jordan, in which Her Majesty stated, "I know there are resourceful men and woman across the Middle East that are waiting for someone to give them this opportunity." The charismatic royal and fashion icon, which looked delightful in all white with a delicious tortoise belt, was hounded by a WWD reporter, but what else could be expected. A fellow Jordanian journalist said that even the most conservative Muslim women adore the 36-year-old Rania and follow what new "Birkin" bag she has going on. Natalie Portman, FINCA’s Ambassador of Hope, also came to inspire "hope" into NYU students, although her pushy, stout Press Assistant refused to let the NYU media speak with the wobbly-ankled, verbose actress in the name of good will. Portman, who claimed she learned how to be a woman and a human being from Her Majesty, yucked it up with the Columbia University khaki-wearers instead. She also boasted of her MySpace page that features video diaries filmed during her new documentary with director Juan Carlos Rulfo about workers in Mexico at www.myspace.com/villagebanking . The inspiring event also littered the room with hopeful statistics on the success of the program, like the fact that they plan to help over 100 million poor families and are repaid by nearly all of their "high-risk" loan recipients. The sit-down speech and lunch event was "closed" to NYU students though. Nora Toiv, the former President of the NYU College Democrats and who plans to work for Hillary Clinton's campaign next year, hand picked "only the most socially conscious students" to attend the event. Only in the most democratic method, of course. But the event was a success with bankers, socialites, and Russia oil-money types floating around.
