300 Folders for Loan Recipients

Each one of these folders represents 5 lives which really means impacting 1,500 lives. Our loan recipients will receive a folder like this:

 On the inside we have note paper on one side and a 'personality/how do you work' type "test" on the other.

This is a close up of the outside of the folder. Everyone will write their name and their group number and turn in their folders after each class and then at the end of the 20 hour training this folder will be theirs to take home. We have also printed out a Business Plan for them which will be distributed at the end of the entire study when they will have a much better understanding of what it is they want to sell, where they will get their products, etc.

Alas, Alisha and I had a very hard decision to make. Save the planet or save people. I feel it is only necessary to make this disclaimer:"many trees were harmed in the making of these folders, binders, and paperwork for all the loan recipients and it would not be a stretch to say that we are carrying over 100 pounds of paper with us to Haiti." There. I'm sorry green energy people. But on the plus side it's only a one time offense until that is... we do this all over again in Haiti (once the loans are repaid) and in Africa!!!! (sorry. I had to add that)
