Microcapital.org recently wrote a great article about the life of Barack Obama’s mother, Stanley Ann Dunham Soetoro. With ties to USAID, the Ford Foundation, Bank Rakyat, Women’s World Banking and the Asian Development Bank, we can only hope that Barack will follow in his mother’s footsteps and support microfinance.

Last night I attended SeaMO’s event, Microfinance and Microbrews, which is a great bi-monthly networking event held in Seattle that the SeaMO puts on. Not only did I get to hear some great stories from Lea Werbel about the Grameen’s Village phone, I got to meet some great people who are as equally interested in microfinance.
I recommend that other people around the country involved with microfinance think about putting on networking events in your city to help people in microfinance get in touch with each other. It is a great way to meet people in the industry and collaborate on ideas.
