Greetings DHF Family!
Almost two years
and four months ago to the date, I began an incredible journey that lead me
back to Peru and eager to discover what life would be like helping women “RE”-discover
their paths to spiritual and financial abundance. Boy what a journey it has been to say the
least. Our village banking project has grown from a bouncy baby girl to a rambunctious
preteen and into a spirited, strong-willed señorita ready to spread her wings
and fly. I personally have grown both professionally and psychology and feel priveleged to now be a honorary member of the Cajamarcan community.
Now 26 village
banks, 264 loan recipients, 1,200 loans and 2,000 educational trainings strong,
our local partner (MULTICREDIT) and staff are even more committed to making
sure our women receive the resources and the “know how” to become successful entrepreneurs
and leaders. 2013 marks a pivotal year for all of us. As DHF begins to ever so
gently hand over project leadership to MULTICREDIT, we hope that all of you will
take an active role witnessing what true sustainability can look like and
become over time.
In the past our “Adventure in Hope” blog was a
portal that allowed you to experience a typical day-in-the-life of our village
banking project in Cajamarca. Starting today I’d like to rekindle this practice
and have you see first-hand what your support albeit donations, volunteering,
prayers, and well wishes have done for the women I now call family. Let’s make 2013
an OUTSTANDING year! I encourage you all to share our adventure stories with your friends and family and get the word our about our very important labor of lover here in Peru.
Best,
Des

Love it! So I got the baby years and you got the pre-teen? Which one is more difficult?
May all be well among the women's
dreams, aji de gallina and ceviche that surround you!
