Financial Education

Work with my coffee cooperative has been on hold for the past month due to tax issues on behalf of the supermarkets here in Togo. We are working things out and expect to be up and selling in no time.

In the meantime, I'm gathering information on money management skills for members of the microfinance I've been workign with. I start classes in April and I'm a bit nervous. Any resources you can provide would be appreciated. The microfinance would like to educate members about money so that they will repay their loans on time, which is apparently a big problem here in Togo.

Tristan and I have been away from village for almost two weeks for training and travel. I'm eager to get back to clean, of course, the mounds of dust that have collected since our departure. We plan to celebrate Good Friday in the company of other volunteers.

Happy Easter to everyone!
