June 14, 2010 O.I. and meeting a trust group!

One thing we've all definitely learned throughout this trip so far is that regardless of your situation, there is always hope. Today was without a doubt a complete example of this exact belief.
After waking up before the sun even came out to say hello, we were off to meet with David from Opportunity International (a business loans organization). David showed us all around 0.I. and introduced us to every employee within his sights! After the enjoyable tour and meet and greet, we went to sit in on a trust group meeting. Trust groups are groups anywhere from 5 to 30 people who are either training for a bank loan or already have a bank loan. They meet frequently and hold each other accountable on payments. In the meeting the people introduced themselves, told us about their business, and their status on the loan. Every piece of information we obtained from both David, the trust group, and the loan officers was pleasantly surprising. The functionality and amount of people going for business loans is amazing! It was so great to witness.
