Self and Community

Welcome to spring quarter! 

EVALUATION WEEK ANNOUNCEMENTS:

Kiva update: the four entrepreneurs we initially chose to loan to have all been fully funded!  I've chosen four more entrepreneurs, and our program loaned $25 to each, plus a $10 donation to kiva to cover their operating costs.  Here are the folks we have supported through our loans:

At Khin, a 62 year-old silk weaver from Cambodia with 9 children.

Saodat Qalbarova from Tajikistan.  She's a 44 year-old farmer with 5 children whose wheat harvest failed last year due to weather.  The loan will help pay her rent.

Pablino Arevalos, a 41-year-old divorced father of 2 from Paraguay.  The loan will help pay for taxi repairs and tires.

Busei A south b group in Uganda.  This is a group of cattle and poultry entrepreneurs led by Hasifa Nangobi, a 35 year-old with 10 children.

Thank you all for your generosity!  Feel free to email me for updates on how our loans are progressing.

WEEK 10 ANNOUNCEMENTS: 

Congratulations on finishing the program! 

At our last session, we collected nearly $70 to loan to Marhamat Toshmatova of Tajikistan for her clothing business through Kiva.  What a wonderful legacy for the "Self and Community" program!  If you'd still like to contribute to this fund, you can do so during your evaluation conference. 

Thank you for a great year!
