A Great Review from a Happy Microlender
Investours, Tanzania is making a splash in the global blogoshpere.
I was stumbling around cyberspace yesterday, and I found this great account from someone who recently participated in one of the “Investours” in the Mwenge woodcarvers market. Here’s my favorite part:
Every person who participated in the tour left with a smile on their face and a better appreciation for the conditions under which the people of the Mwenge Woodcarver’s Market live. Overall, this was a very humbling and eye-opening experience, but the kind that leaves you with a warm feeling inside.
The next time you find yourself in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, do consider going on an Investour. You are guaranteed to meet some truly wonderful people who are working hard to make a living and best of all, you will have an opportunity to make a small difference in their lives too.
You can check out this post on the Sustainable Cities International blog. There are some great photos, too!
