A permanent nomad?
I’m Rob Packer and after 25 years living almost entirely in the same city (London, England), I’m well on the way to becoming a permanent world nomad. Since 2007, I lived in Hong Kong and in October 2009 I began a fellowship with Kiva.org. Considering that I am coming to think of myself as a nomad, it’s ironic that my first posting has been to Kyrgyzstan, a country with a mostly nomadic population until Soviet collectivization in the 1930′s. Since then, I moved to Latin America but my nomadic “heritage” is just as active.
Hello! Sorry for using this space, but I was looking for your email/address and I didnt find it. So here I am! I’m Luisa, I’m 22 and I’m finishing my Master in Finance at Roma tre Uni. I’m planning to start my master thesis soon. I’d like to focus on microfinance and art and accidentally I read one of your articles on the topic. So, I’m writing just to receive some suggestions. Do you think that it could be an interesting (& realistic) subject for a Master thesis? Any ideas of Professsor/phd/Ngo that are already started working in this direction (and/or that could be interested in assisting me)? Do you know if there is any research programme in Kiva ( a kind of volunteership+research)? Ok, a lot of questions.
Thanks for your attention and looking forward to hearing from you. Cheers. Luisa
