Passionate About:

I learned about microfinancing about two years ago and it has something that I have loved ever since. I am passionate about helping to change lives through sustainable methods that is not just a hand out or charity, but giving people an opprotunity in their lives they might not have had otherwise. I love to travel and experience different cultures, learn about how other people live and what is important to them. I am amazed that after learning and reading about microfinancing I now get to chance to experience it first hand and meet and interact with the people I will be giving loans to. I could not be more excited!
