Microfinance Travel: The Video

March 9, 2010 No Comments

Several weeks ago, Global Partnerships’ Chris Megargee, who coordinates GP’s PartnerTrip program, spoke about microfinance travel at an event at Seattle’s REI headquarters. Watch this brief clip from the event for an intro to microfinance in Latin America and the kinds of experiences you’ll have on a PartnerTrip.

Speaking of, Global Partnerships is recruiting travelers for our upcoming trip to Bolivia (April 30 to May 9). This is a phenomenal opportunity to travel with a small group to see one of the most fascinating countries in Latin America from the perspective of a micro-entrepreneur. Applications are due soon! Find out more on GP’s website.
