Renée-Zinacantan
Today I was in Zinacantan. I went on site visits with Grameen Trust. Grameen Trust is a microcreditor that was started in Bangladesh. It was founded to slowly rid the World of poverty by supplying loans to people, (MOSTLY WOMEN, YEA!!) to start their own businesses. I think that is totally awsome. The site visits were very interesting. We visited two weaving and embroidery compounds and several gardens.
The thing that stuck out the most to me was the amount of stray dogs in Chiapas. At one of the compounds, there were three little dogs. One of them Linda named Mrs. Fuzzy Pants. They were they cutest lttle things! I started to feel kind of strange. I've never actually cared about a stray but for some reason, I wanted to help the poor little guys. They just touched my heart. I think I will have to adopt a puppy now. Besides the fact that they are SOOO CUTE, its just that I will feel a lot better and a lot less helpless when it comes to saving a life and providing a better one. I guess thats just me.
