Update from Puebla

Things are winding down here in Puebla as we prepare to come home one week from today! Hopefully we will get to see you guys soon!

We taught our 14th workshop at the Employment Center this week!
This was one of our favorite groups yet. Each one of the participants was soo eager to learn and start their own business. They were intelligent and really understood the principles and participated a ton, which made the workshop so much fun for us! They all stayed after class for over an hour just discussing their plans with each other and talking about what they learned. It was really cool for us to see.


Today we interviewed one of the participants from our workshop for a success story.
Meet Jesús González:

He started a transportation company and talked to us about how the workshop helped him put together a better plan for his business. Specifically how it helped him better plan his advertising and finances. He even drove his van to show us the new canvas advertisement he made to advertise his business. Awesome!

It will be bittersweet to leave in a few days, as I'm sure you're all feeling as well. We are pretty ready to get back to the land of the free and the home of the brave--we definitely have a new appreciation for all things AMERICAN! :)
However, we have met some truly amazing people here, and it will be hard to say goodbye!
