September 18th, 2008 — , KF6 (Kiva Fellows 6th Class), mexico from mctiernan @ Kiva Stories from the Field
Fellows have flown in from all over the world…I drove across town….for a week of training in preparation for our next few months around the world. Folks are heading to Togo, Benin, Tajikistan, Southern Sudan, Cambodia and spots it took me more than a minute to find on a map.

Two weeks have passed since I started work at Fundación Para La Vivienda Progresiva, or Foundation for Progressive Housing. I am still very much in absorption mode, so for now I will rely on broad strokes to paint the picture of what FVP is all about.
