Great Celebration
Had a wonderful day at the first graduation of the Widows of Bulibulima Microlending group. 20 women paid back their 6 month loan - a 100% return rate. There was lots of singing and dancing and speeches and feasting and somehow yours truly was one of the guests of honor! And was I ever honored to be there. Now 40 more women will be able to get small loans to do a small business - sell beans, sew, grow bananas to help their families. Hope my picture posts.....

Hi Joyanne, I've been so wondering how you are doing. Then in a flash, I remembered your blog! A special guest of the "widows of bulibulima" another amazing life experience for you to treasure! Here in Juneau... chasing baby bears around the yard, the JUMP film festival, fireweed is just about to pop, lilacs are still blooming, and I am waiting patiently for the thimbleberries to ripen. Thanks for all your fascinating posts! Joy
