Microfinance

We didn’t do much today in Human geo. We first got our test back, and I think I did pretty well. I got an 83 which is a B. Some people haven’t taken the test so they will take it tomorrow. Other people have to finish it because they didn’t have enough time when we took it. Then these two sophomores came in to talk to Mr. Schick until he made them leave. After that Mr. Schick took us to a link on his blog called Microfinance. Microfinance is a way to give people who have low-income a chance to rise up out of poverty. Instead of just handing them money as charity microfinance allows them to be able to lift themselves out of poverty with just a bit of help. One example of this is the Peace Corps. The Peace Corps was established in 1961 and continues to work to help people in developing countries who don’t have the infrastructure needed to succeed.
