Day 11
Revisiting the microcredit projects
Up till now we have been fortunate with the power supply. However, in the last couple of days that has changed so I will need to slip back into Nepali time with my posts for the next week. Will see how it all pans out.
Viti Erin and Shila headed off on the 16 kilometer journey to meet up with the Jutpani members. The joy about this visit was to meet with some of the women I had interviewed previously plus new members. Erin and Shila in the backseat of our taxi and the road we travelled to the villages.
Our trip to the village:
Meeting up with the Jutpani members at their branch cooperative is always a joy. Shila had taken her copy of my book to show the members which was a surprise and joy. Ramchandra is planning on translating my book so the cooperative members can engage with it. Erin with board members and Shila.

1st was a new member who took out a large loan in the last two years from the cooperative to open up her fashion, gift, shoes and fabric shop. Owner on the left.
Young Jutpani member who has accessed training in sewing training and now works for an employer. It is here desire to have her own shop in the future.
Two women I had interviewed on my earlier visit. It was a delight to meet them both again.
Another woman I interviewed previously. It was particularly special to share this experience with Erin as we were able to cover our fieldwork in a shorter time frame which means we are not imposing in these women's
busy lives. I look forward to revising the book with the material that has been gathered on this visit to Nepal.
Off to find the dug well.
Erin spotted another mustard crop so photo time. She is studying Agriculture/Business at Curtin and was involved in the first semester JCLA Community Project linked to Hands with Hands. End of a wonderful day of fieldwork.
Heading back to our vehicle and to the city.
