We've arrived! Now begins the microfinance study and the days will be packed from here on out. We drove from Mumbai this morning to Pune, which is about 3 hours east towards the central part of India. We traversed the Ghat Mountains which was beautiful. After being in Mumbai it was a much needed change of scenery! The country is so lush and beautiful - we passed lots of rice paddies. View from the top of the mountain pass into the valley:
Tomorrow we're visiting the Development Support Group - an NGO that trains other NGOs how to do microfinance programs. For the next two days we'll have these training sessions and then we're going to visit some of their project sites and sit in on the women's group meetings.
Much more to report in the next few days!

I have to say, that is not at all what I would have thought India looked like. it's much more green than I ever imagined.
Hi Tori! I had to get all caught up on your trip. Wow, your pictures are awesome. So different than what we see in Portland, OR! Have a great time. Keep posting. :)
