Oikocredit in Bolivia

Here I am preparing for my trip to Bolivia, when Penny Pattison of the local Oikocredit group emails me to say that there is a presentation at UVIC on Bolivia and Microfinance.
Oikocredit is a great organization that I have been associated with in the past. They are  a Coop that receives investments in the developed world and makes loans to Co-ops and microfinance organizations in places like Bolivia to support people and projects that banks won't finance. I met Santiago, Alvaro and Luis who all live in Cochabamba and I will be able to visit when I get there next week.
