BRIDGE OF HOPE NEW REGIONAL OFFICE OPENING - In the Ibu area of west Halmahera.
I've been involved with Bridge of Hope in its microfinance program for 23 years. As the years have progressed, it has become a bit easier for the poor to obtain loans in the cities & bigger towns, so now Bridge of Hope is moving into more remote areas to serve those who have less access to saving/borrowing programs.I drove 4 of the BoH staff on the 3 hour drive across the island with some extremely bad roads & a river crossing, but it was also very beautiful in the mountainous winding jungle roads.
The official opening ceremony was well attended by the new local beneficiaries of our program, as well as the village head, a church pastor, & several government officers responsible for giving approval to our program in the Ibu area. I think it was good for the officials to see all the real people involved in the program, both the local recipients, plus the amazing BoH staff.
