After having completed two decades yesterday, I don't think I have ever been this excited in my life. In just a few hours, Juliana and I, as well as a couple of other members of our team will be touching down on Peruvian soil!!! Expectations for this trip are so high, and I know that they will be met. We would love to thank everyone that has supported and believed in us, thus far and those that will continue to support us throughout the summer! Stay tuned for some great updates/pictures/information on our team and our happenings in Peru!!!
Hasta luego!!!

Hello CMIers and friends!
The Country Directors (Pedro and I) are leaving tomorrow for Peru! We'll spend this week in Cuzco and Puno, finalizing arrangements for the group before the Session 1 travelers arrive next week.
First session travelers, I'm looking forward to meeting you at the Cuzco airport bright and early in the morning next week! In Cuzco, we'll conduct our training with our partner microfinance institution, Prisma, and then head onto Puno to work in the microfinance field for the rest of the summer!
I am so thrilled that all of our hard work with CMI this year is finally culminating in this exciting opportunity to contribute to microfinance firsthand. Thanks to everyone for making this possible! This summer will be a life-changing experience for CMI members, and we look forward to sharing our experiences with all of our friends, family members, and donors as well!
We'll be in touch again soon!

This blog
This summer, fourteen student social entrepreneurs from UNC Chapel Hill will be traveling to Puno, Peru to invest in micro-entrepreneurs. They will be working through Prisma, a local Peruvian microfinance institution (www.prisma.org.pe) and other local microfinance institutions. Students will also be working with locals in other capacities as they identify community needs that CMI can fulfill, such as helping them create a new soccer field or volunteering at the local orphanage. Throughout the summer, CMI's social entrepreneurs will be adding stories, letters, and photos from Peru to this blogsite.
