Micro Credit Nogales Trip

Bill & Phyllis and Harry & Nancy visited EnComun in Nogales on Jan 13 with 8 other Rotarians from Mesa, Chandler, Tucson and Ontario Canada.  EnComun is a micro credit support organization with offices in Nogales and Juarez.  They are expanding to Agua Prieta (Douglas) and probably San Luis (Yuma) in the near future.  We learned how micro credit community groups are formed, educated and operate to promote and support very small entrepreneurs and we visited two of the small businesses.  Our club will be contributioning $1,000 to the first District 5510 micro credit project.  It will be administered by EnComun and in Nogales.  There will be a presentation with more information at the Feb 2 club meeting.
