Plans

Hey all,

Not much happening at the moment! Enjoying my final days in the San José area..

I am finalizing plans to work with Usura Cero...a microfinance project started by the FSLN government in Nicaragua.

If all goes well, I´ll be studying the initiative in Granada, where very few loans are being returned to the bank. It will be a research project on the ideal conditions for microlending..Granada is a city with high levels of tourism, but revenue from that sector does not seem to be alleviating the extreme poverty in that area.

I´ll be sure to post soon with more details, but possibly after I arrive in Nicaragua.

Thanks so much for checking in!!
Matt
