The field of micro-finance was unexpectedly new and interesting to me. When I was reading Half The Sky, the word micro-finance stood out to my eyes even though I had no idea about what it is like. As I kept researching into this topic, I felt that its humanistic aspect of focusing on every woman’s dignity was striking. I had been dreaming of working as an investor for infrastructure development at World Bank or UN-related development banks , but to me, micro-finance is actually as intriguing as this work. Therefore, the interview with Ms. Soledad Gompf was eye-opening, which might have affected my view on future work as well. As a whole, this week’s experiences were filled with something new, and I’m pretty sure that I definitely want to pursue this interest even after LC.
As a member of the final project team about micro-finance, I’m so glad to hear that this week’s experiences affect your view and future career. I also like how you described microfinance as a “humanistic aspect of focusing on every woman’s dignity.” I want to talk to you about the differences between the World Bank and organizations managing microfinance such as FINCA.
