About to head on a plane to Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan to begin a four month stint with an international humanitarian and development organization where I’ll be learning about the impact of microfinance on the lives of rural villagers throughout Kyrgyzstan.
Where exactly is Kyrgyzstan, you ask?? Before the tragic revolution on April 7, 2010, Kyrgyzstan was pretty much off the radar for most people in the western part of the world. Sadly, I am one of those ignorant people without a great deal of knowledge about Kyrgyzstan. However, I hope to learn more about this tiny country of 5 million people over the next several months, and to provide a brief glimpse into life in Central Asia.
