Just a month after I returned from Dar and Selfina's offices, it filled me again with the sights, songs and perfumes of Tanzania, and with the sense of Selfina's impact on local communities. Thank you for the time that you dedicate to Selfina and for sharing the power of micro-finance. I wish you a continued great time there. Please give my regards to Claude and the rest of the Selfina team. Congratulations Nabomita on this report, which I just found by chance while surfing on the web.

I would be interested in knowing how a force multiplier can be generated to spread the positive outcomes to larger sections of society in the quickest possible time. Best Wishes Uncle Bhaskar Rini
