Interviews.

This last past week, we did a lot of interviews of participants of Women's Trust. It was so interesting to go to their business and talk about their experiences. In so many ways people are people whether in Ghana or in Seattle or in New Jersey (smile). They go to work everyday work and have good days and bad days.

Yet, their story takes a turn. They speak of not being able to afford school fees, ($70 a year)., They want to learn m ore about how to run business, but there is no where to go to learn.

Their health care system is prayer. They pray no one in their family gets in an accident or gets the deadly strain of malaria. I've heard quite of few stories about a snake bit victim dying in 3 days, and a women who collapsed and died because she coulden't get the hosptial. It's really tragic.

I"m still strongly in the belief that this microlending money needs to be accompanied by education and health care.
