Chapter 11&12 Summary

Chapter 11-12 Summary
Aaron started off this week’s blog group with our chapter’s 11-12 summary: he stated how “11-12 they talking mainly on women creating a better life for themselves.” And how woman are moving forward and taking control of their lives by working to create a better life for themselves.

Issue Investigator
Richelle was out issue investigator, and she stated that the main problem from chapters 11&12 is that it proves that woman are not indifferent and then gave the example of Saima Muhammad who opened her own business and made a success out of herself.

Country Investigator
Carlos was out Country investigator this week and he chose to do a little research on China. China is located in Eastern Asia, and they have an extremely diverse climate. Some places are tropical and warm others very cold. The population in China as of July 2011, is 1,336,718,015. Also China has the most main telephones lines in the world.

Local Organization
Kari researched a local organization and she picked “Kashf” they specialize in microfinance and giving small loans to women. Kari states that “In having these small loans, women are locally able to start their own business and get out of debt and support a family for themselves.”

My Review
I thought that it was really amazing that by some woman in less developed countries obtaining the money to open their own small businesses they are able to provide for themselves and their families BUT they are also able to help other women by giving them jobs and their businesses help their communities economy which improves living conditions for the whole community.
