I can't believe that A) I missed it & B) He was banned for a month for it.

Now considering some of the absolute tripe that gets posted on this board, I can only imagine it must have been pure genius.

Good ish day.

Got stuck talking to an idiot journo at a BBQ tonight. He really annoyed me. He had no idea about the issues in the country, yet talked in absolute confidence about what shite was coming out of his mouth. Suffice to say, he is an American.

International development, focused on microfinance at the moment.

Can imagine it being very busy for you then...

 

From what I've heard S. Africa and neighboring countries are currently expanding fast with new businesses (?).

Is it a bit weird I'm looking forward to getting 2000 rep points?

I  don't know how many rep points I have. I do know it is nowhere near 2000. 3 too many zeroes.

The microfinance market is continuing to grow, and the good thing is that local funding is starting to replace international funds. So lots of work to do :)

No, but I know them very very well having previously served on the board of two MFIs that they part own. I currently work for a Dutch social investment fund.

 

 

It might be ( sort of ) similar to a missionary organisation my wife and i support.... They are based in Nicaragua... instead of just giving people food and clothing ( which they do as a plan Z) they teach people skills which they can then use... They also run the only school in the area.. all of it with the premise that Education and skills can be a means to fight poverty...

But I presume the main issue is the word 'corruption'?...

Not really. It's market led financing, for the financial providers and the clients. If there is corruption and financing isn't repaid or profitable then the market walks.

Grandad passed away peacefully last night. 

 

91 years old.

 

:(

Good innings that, I hope you get through a sad time but can take solace in the fact that he lived to a ripe age and most likely had some very good memories and very good people.

Thanks all. 

 

Certainly lots of memories to cherish. He's not in pain any more and he's not suffering any more  :closedeyes:

Sorry for your loss Stan.

Like the others have said 91 is a good age, and I'm sure you'll have plenty of memories.

A lorry had tipped up on the Hobby Horse island when I was going out tonight. Still trying to right it when I came home.
