Today I met with a few women from Mujer y Sociedad. It is a fantastic organization here that offers local women help--from job training and microloans to internet access and sewing machines. It was an eye-opener and my first real meeting entirely in Spanish! (Phew, a little bit scary!) Not only did they give me advice, but they're actually letting me go to a micro-bank meeting Saturday (the one where the women pay back their loans), and then will take me to a different section of town next Tuesday where I'll see microfinance at work! I couldn't be more suprised or excited!
