It would be our way to thank you for helping us with exposure on Geek Estate Blog when we launched and the Carnival of Real Estate. (BTW I've got another post brewing for Geek Estate.) If you like surfing we can certainly organize that. We'd also like to show you projects under the umbrella of http://www.communityrefund.org a charity we founded a couple of years ago to try and ensure that local communities benefit from the growth in real estate investing in the region. Perhaps there is some complementarity with your micro-finance work? If you ever make it to our neck of the woods (Nicaragua) we’d love to have you to stay.

Yes, that's how life is in the third world. It must be beautiful witnessing how MF affect people's lives first hand. Yes, only when harsh realities of life is experienced or witnessed can we see the great divide. Average people in other affluent countries are very much privilege indeed. Great post, Drew!

I am blessed to have a friend like you, and I am so glad that you were able to see and share my life down there...
