With a group of people who largely agree microfinance, it becomes all to easy to slip into a routine of accepting the industry as a whole. I came across the piece below and wanted to share it because I think that opposing views are always important to read and understand as they will allow for a better understanding of our own positions.

Tom Murphy posted a discussionCall for Nominations: 2010 Aid Blog Awards
I thought of coming up with a clever name, but felt that it would be too trite to have some small name, so I am just going to call them my 1st Annual Aid Blog Awards. What I want to do is to recognize some of the great work that aid bloggers have done this year. I do not see it as a contest as much as it is a way to recognize this community. I am taking open nominations first and then will produce a listing where people can vote in a few weeks. From there I will announce the winners and…See More

Ever clever, NBC’s The Office starts off as an episode about the christening of Pam and Jim's daughter but ends up with Michael and Andy going on a mission trip to Mexico. There are some great lines/digs that Aid and Development people will find to be pretty accurate. I am going to do a more comprehensive post, but wanted to share this before the videos expire.

Andy: "We'll probably screw up everything anyway."

Mark Fitzsimmons said… - Not at all, and I didn't mean to seem like I was correcting you. I knew what you were saying - just wanted to clarify for readers who may not yet be familiar with any of this discourse.
It's a worthwhile discussion to have at any rate - if I get some time, maybe I'll post it as a discussion topic. Anyway, thanks for your response!

I'm staying in the fine town of Eldoret. You were not too far. What took you to Malava? I'm doing well having lived here for a few years now working with the AMPATH program. It is a great part of the country! Feel free to check out what we are doing at www.ampathkenya.org.
