As the Microfinance Mundo Turns: The Best Nicaraguan Ice Cream
29 June 2009
By Susan Arthur, KF8, Nicaragua
Dear Kiva Novela Fans,
I was unable to upload the two videos that were to accompany last Saturday’s (Episode 2) of “As the Microfinance Mundo Turns.” So consider this to be Episode 2.5. Don’t miss Laura Hopps’s testimonial about Doña Cony’s ice cream. Laura lives in Nicaragua and volunteers for the Centro Cultural Batahola Norte. Follow her Friends of Batahola blog if you want to learn more.
Also, your mouth will water when Doña Cony lists the ingredients in her ice cream.
Doña Cony’s dream, as announced in the first episode of “As the Microfinance Mundo Turns”, is to open her own restaurant.
Will Doña Cony seek credit from one of Kiva’s field partners in Nicaragua? Will she apply at CEPRODEL? Will she qualify? What does she have to do to get a loan? Stay tuned for upcoming episodes of “As the Microfinance Mundo Turns.”

Seeing the entrepreneurs and hearing their voices adds a whole level of enhanced experience for us lenders, bringing real people to us… how can anyone deny these worthy people when we can see the need and the desire to do more, be more?
And, I must confess, I am enjoying these episodes very much!

Invest now! Dona Coni and her family are wonderful–and she is located across the street from a very busy park and education/cultural center–with plenty of willing customers! And–her ice cream is the best!
