Microfinance Practice: Re: [EXTERNAL] [SOCIAL NETWORK]RE: [MFP] MFP is completely coming to an end tomorrow

Thanks Chuck for creating this group.

It was such a valuable ressource when I was a student and during my formative years.

Glad to hear that Howard set up a Microfinance Practice Google Group.

Looking forward to this new beginning!

All the best,

Meryem

Dear Chuck,

I probably joined the group not long after it started. And, while I
may not have posted very often, I have followed the discussions
frequently and learned a great deal from the ranging perspectives -
even most especially from those I didn't agree with. Thank you for
creating a space for discussion and debate around important issues
which we all care about.

Best regards,

I think back fondly to the trip we did to Bolivia almost 25 years ago with you and a few other consultants to learn from the many innovators there. It was my indoctrination and I learned so much from you.
