We are a business with a social objective who have been working in Eastern Europe for 10 years, starting by sourcing a microfinance initiative in Tomsk. Most of the last 8 years have been spent in Ukraine where we've delivered a strategy paper for a social business approach to microeconomic development. I ask as I have asked by responding to Grameen Creative's solicitation for collaboration and in theie discussion forum whether this offers the opportunity to work together where we have knowledge of local obstacles. http://www.p-ced.com/1/projects/ukraine/national/ Jeff Mowatt
