Haiti Investments: We recently were able to make loans in Haiti. We invested in 4 loans to groups engaged in retail and livestock. Since Hurricane Sandy hit, we pray that our loan applicants will be able to carry out their plans successfully.
Our next meeting is Thursday, November 15 at 12:00 pm. Bring a brown bag lunch. All are welcome. If you need help with your account or would like to set one up, we will be able to help you at this meeting.
The results for October: We added two new members in October. We also made 18 more microloans worth $450. Our current totals are 40 members and 249 loans worth $6650 in 48 countries.
If you can't join us for our meeting, be sure to stop to see us at the Alternative Christmas Market on Sunday, November 18. We will have Kiva gift cards available for purchase @$25 each.
