Microfinance

Today in human geo class we started a new unit. Today we mostly learned about microfinance and the Peace Corps Challenge. Microfinance is a financial service for poor people who don't have access to regular banking services. We looked at microfinance in more detail when we played a peace corps challenge game. In the game we go to a small town (in our imagination) called Wanzuzu. In Wanzuzu we were faced with different health and financial problems that we were supposed to fix (in our imagination).
We also watched a video that describes microfinance.  We had to answer a couple questions about the video on a worksheet.
