two interesting articles

so, in my endless time while i sit and wait for test results i thought i'd put up these two articles... they are pretty interesting. sorry, i couldn't figure out how to get them as links, so copy and paste. it's realllllly not hard!

first: an article about conflicting positions and arguments in today's world of microfinance. who does microfinance serve and how do we do that best? it's an article from the new yorker, oct 30th 2006. enjoy.

second: another new yorker article about water in india. after reading that the average american uses 400-600 litres of water A DAY, i calculated how much i use in my village and that maybe, maybe, if i do dishes, laundry, it's hot and i drink a lot, AND i bathe, i would use about 20. crazy. i don't, however, carry it on my head. though everyone else does. it's from oct 23rd, 2006. enjoy.

Dear Hannah, I am so happy to have the opportunity to work with your dad here at the Bioethics Center in Kansas City. He shared your blog with me (first time I have ever been in the blog world!) I just wanted to say it is lovely to read about your journey. I believe that you will be forever enriched by these experiences and you heart will be full. The fact that you are bringing smiles to those beautiful little faces and to your neighbors and all that you meet is indeed a beautiful reflection on your parents. I find your dad so approachable and I think that is a gift that you also have in giving of yourself and welcoming other into your life. Thank you making this a better world and filling these lives with hope.
Thank you, Hannah.
