Microfinance...Putting An End to Poverty



Today we visited a Muslim village outside of Bangalore and learned about the impact of Microfinance on the poor. It was remarkable to see woman of all ages and learning how they started their small business and finding out how the business operates today. After we watched the woman payback their loans we were able to take a tour of the village. Many of the children wanted to hang out with us and speak english. Myself and another classmate broke away from our group and hung out with the children. They showed us their homes and took us to the jungle gym. They were very pleasant and their laugh and smile was infectious. I will provide more on Microfinance later.


See photos....I am going to take a nap!
