This is the week I write my final report. It will consist of an explanation of all the reasons why women in La Barquita do not participate in Esperanza’s program, along with a theory for why there might be less participation here than one would expect, and a tentative estimation of the possibility for growth. When I’m done I’ll post it here somewhere, along with a summary for the lazy among you.

Pray that I get it finished on time, that I get plenty of rest, and that I can remain fully engaged in the community, even as I look forward to going home.

I’m working on an explanation on that whole microfinance profitability thing.  Stay tuned.
