R4F they are in Mexico. As a matter of fact I am at this moment wearing a Mayan woven glass bead bracelet made in a village that has received microfinancing for its loom.

Really surprising it's taken so long for Dr. Yunus to get this - the program's a real ray of light for third-worlders living under kleptocratic regimes, especially in Africa.

But it does seem that Disco maybe could have gotten at least some sort of commendation too, doesn't it?

Thanks for the info, leilani! I'd seen that the program was in '100 other counties' or so, didn't know any details.

May we assume that no Mayan virgins were sacrificed in the making of your bracelet? ;>)
