A Summer with Union MicroFinanza

Hola everyone and bienvenidos to the UMF blog,

My name is Malia and I’m another UMF intern. My first visit to La Unión was in March and after getting to know a little about UMF, I decided the mountains of Honduras might be a good place to spend my summer. After completing two of my three months here, I am happy to say that I made the right choice.

UMF isn’t just recruiting college kids this summer though. Last week Trisha and I met with two students, Gloria and Darwin, from the bilingual school. They have volunteered to work with UMF several mornings a week for the rest of the summer. After a little bit of brainstorming and a lot of time playing on iTunes and eating peanut butter, we decided that it would be fun for them to create a power point introduction to La Unión. Few people in the States know anything about Honduras and even fewer know that La Unión even exists. We thought that people coming down to visit, buying our coffee or just interested in UMF’s work might like to learn about daily life in La Unión from people that know La Unión the best. In addition to their Introduction to La Unión project, we hope that they will participate in other UMF events, such as the agricultural training session coming up next week and maybe the blog. Make sure to keep following the blog and check out the website to hear more about what us interns and the bilingual students are up to this summer.

Thanks for reading,

Malia
