A Huge Success: Valence's Speech
"Last Thursday's Peace Club event was a huge success. Congratulations to organizers Trevor Hudgins and Ian May. Special thanks to Valence Lutisaire for coming all the way from Uganda to introduce us to YOFAFO. Thanks also to Ms. Barbarick for opening her room so we could webcast to an overflow crowd.
The purpose of Peace Club ("First rule: talk about Peace Club") is to improve global understanding by identifying and investing in small businesses. Traditionally we have worked through Kiva-- now we are able to establish a direct connection to loan recipients. Have a look at the videos that follow and visit YOFAFO and the Peace Club if you are interested in participating."

It was great having a classroom filled to the brim for Valence Lutaisire to deliver his story and dreams to! He gave us his thanks afterwards for our support.
On this topic of support; in the very near future, the Peace Club will be collaborating with YOFAFO and joining arms to grow together. We hope we can help take YOFAFO to the next level through a similar funding mechanism as used by Kiva.org. We will be raising a separate fund to loan specifically to YOFAFO.
It will be a terrific experience to have direct contact with the people we are helping!
-Trevor
