Thank you God today is Friday. For weekend Kevin and I are going to fly to Shanghai to meet our coach for mid review of our Ulysses Program – China Project. In addition, we will also have our individual coaching session.
This afternoon, we met Opportunity International, another NGO, to share experience and information on the income generation program. In addition, we also discussed on the activities they carried out across China. Based on the discussions, basically, their activities are slightly different with SC's income generation projects in Fuyang or Heifer International. Opportunity International is dedicated to the needs and well being of the poorest of the working poor. In China they engage as a loan guarantor for small loans RMB3,000 - 50,000 that allow poor entrepreneurs to start or expand a business, develop a steady income, provide nutritious meals and education for their children and create jobs for their neighbors. As a return, they obtain the guarantor fees (the difference between interest charged to the lenders and the interest charged by bank to Opportunity International.
At night we had dinner with all SC Hefei Regional Office staff and managers.
We are looking forward to flying to Shanghai to meet our coach tomorrow afternoon.
