Another Couple Weeks of Light Blogging

Sorry for the lack of blogging over the past couple weeks, and expect more of the same over the next two weeks.

Hope everyone has a Happy (& safe) New Years!

I don’t know why it’s taken 3 weeks for me to finish this post but, regardless, here it is — FINALLY.

BeadforLife.org – A Tase of Microfinance in Uganda

A colleague of mine, Theresa Morrow, at Zillow went to Uganda for a year and just recently returned to the states.

Below are some of the beads that were brought in and sold to Zillow employees — I definitely found several good xmas presents.
