I'm so glad you had a chance to read the article. DId you also read the one highlighting the girl from Afghanistan? I find it fascinating and hopeful that women are considered a very important 'solution' to the complex social and economic problems mentioned. One of my favorite sections - the comment by Bill Gates to a Saudi Arabian audience. Jill, when we get this project completed we'll have to catch up (over gelato!!) I've been meaning to read M. Yunus' story - so inspiring. I heard an interview with him on NPR a long time ago, and was so impressed by his decision to lend to women. Kristi, I wonder the same thing. It seems like too much of a generalization, yet in probability true under the circumstances written, that women invest in education & healthcare while men squander their earnings on alcohol & vice.

It had so many issues of which I wasn't aware. Have you read Banker to the Poor? Its about the microloan program and they talk a lot about empowering women and how giving the women the financial stability is what changes the lives of each family. I'd love to hear more about the projects your involved in. Thanks for sharing that article Di. It had so many issues of which I wasn’t aware. Have you read Banker to the Poor?
