The Reuters Digital Vision Program is a one-year fellowship at Stanford University for mid-career tech professionals. I'm blogging my experiences there: the amazing guest speakers, the interesting classes and discussion groups with other fellows, and thoughts on how technology can help reduce the gulf between the global rich and poor.

Publicity from Dominican Republic visit

Carlos just sent this article from Fundacion Global, a non-profit where we gave a presentation in December. For non-Spanish speakers, the paragraph that mentions me reads (courtesy of Google Translate):

Steven Ketchpel spoke on the microfinancial services for the developing world. It emphasized the possibilities of reducing to the poverty through the microcredit and the way that lacks to cross. At the moment, in the world it has around 7.000 microfinancial institutions and the majority serves less than 2.500 beneficiaries as loans.


Fun fact: I'm not wearing a tie because we were running late from the previous visit, and making powerpoint slides in the car on the way to this talk...
