On the way there and first steps

Http://blog.goodwithmoney.co.uk

First, Belma and Sangeeta discuss the trip on the way over. Terrible sound quality at the start I'm afraid, but that's because they're on the plane. After that, they visit a Microfinance Institute in Derdenta, called Zene za Zene (Women for Women part of Women for Women International who lend solely to women).

This is the first of 12 videos where Belma Gracankic, A Customer Adviser at The Co-operative Bank, returns to Bosnia, her country of birth that she fled during the 1993 war. Belma and her family escaped to Britain and settled in the North-West. Belma subsequently found employment with The Co-operative Bank, here she returns to Bosnia to examine the positive effect the Banks micro finance initiatives are having in helping to rebuild the country.

In the remaining videos Belma and Sangeeta travel round Belma's home town, meet people who've been helped by Microfinance, whilst also visitng important sites from the conflict and sites important to Belma, putting the help that microfinance has given into context.
