The nicest woman just gave props to the ALC live blog for covering the event in a way that makes it possible to understand what’s happening, even from afar. If you’re following along at home and couldn’t make it to DC, leave a comment and let me know who you are, or shoot me an email: sluechtefeld@cfed.
Right On

Faisel Rahman: It’s not just about the number of relationships, it’s about the depth of those relationships that matters.
The Assets World

Wow – there are people here from EVERYWHERE. This session alone has folks from the US, Canada, the UK and Peru. Others are from Australia, Uganda, Sweden and more. It’s like a trip around the world without a plane ticket that would bankrupt me!
Agreed!

On-Ramping
Posted on 09/23/2010 @ 02:18 PM
I love that so many of the speakers this week have used the “on-ramp” analogy. It’s a perfect metaphor: you start slowly, but gain momentum as you blend with the mainstream. Love it!
Interesting Work

That’s so cool that Carolina has worked with indigenous women in the Andes! I did research on Andean indigenous communities in Ecuador a few years ago and it was perhaps one of the most fulfilling experiences I’ve had in my life.
