Hi Friends and Family!I have decided to replace my long email updates with this blog. It looks prettier and I can post pictures with my text. Plus it's nice to have a single place I can go to find a kind of journal-ish summary of my travels (rather than digging through my email). You can also post comments to my blog and see what others have said (or you can always email me personally). Some of you will receive an automatic email from the blog whenever I update; all of you will receive an email from me personally.
Now, to give you an idea of what's going on with me and India...
I leave the US on Saturday, 30 August, and arrive in Delhi the following evening. I'll be attending jam-packed training sessions in Delhi for the first two weeks before heading to the rural village, Mhaswad, located in Maharashtra. What's in Mhaswad? What's the point of me going to India?
Mannvikas Samajik Sanstha (MVSS) is located there. MVSS is the non-profit sector of Mann Deshi, a microfinance bank that works to improve the lives of rural women in India. My duties will include setting up entire programs and designing entire studies. Do I have a Ph.D., or even a Master's? Do I know anything about microfinance? Am I qualified for that kind of work?
NO! However, I feel blessed to have an opportunity like this and am beyond excited to give it all a try :)
Welcome to my blog!

Hi Suzanne Sounds like a great adventure. Hate to tell you this but you do not need a Phdor masters in finance. As you will come to learn the rest of life is pretty much on the job training. Therefore success is based on desire, luck, and talent You have them all
Looks like I will be in Cameroon for the month of November doing my water project. They need micro finance there as well so keep your training books. Uncle Tom

good luck on your trip!! i will miss you.
My dear Suzanne, I am so thrilled for you and your new adventure. And, microfinance lending could not be more important at this time! Congrats on being involved in something that has the potential to really make social change for more social justice!
Hugs and much love, Aunt Nancy
