Lisa – Your comments are totally the fuel that keeps me writing when I’m tired and think I can’t possibly get everything down that’s in my head and I want to share. Thank you, always.

So powerful, Sloane. You write with the passion of an Amazonian woman and the heart of a poet. So glad you are there and come back to share..

Thanks Milena. I have like two dozen stories like this one. I mean Bernardita was really special, but each women just touched me so and I’ve tried to take notes and capture them to keep the story-telling going when I get home. Hugs back to you sister.

Thanks Geoff! I’m so excited you got to see this post.

Jeremiah and Chris – I had no idea! I’ll say that until the day I die. I had you both in my circle as Filipino-Americans and I had no idea. I just want to give you both the biggest hugs. You really have a huge Philippines supporter in me for life. Truly. The complexities, the good and the bad, the stories, the friends – it’s all there. See you both in LA in the fall!

Really touching and powerful story Sloane. What a crazy moment to actually meet and step into the life of a Kiva entrepreneur that you had not expected to… I love these detailed posts from the Philippines, it really brings me back to the immersion trip I took 3 years ago to learn more about the cultures and struggles of the Philippines… keep up the good work!!

Sloane, I love love love this blog post. Did this really happen? Really? It must have been so powerful and overwhelming. Hopefully she won’t need your bracelet for long before things come together for her.

Many hugs,
Milena
