A Voice from the Field: Oliver Mannion in Indonesia
Oliver Mannion, from Auckland, New Zealand, is volunteering with GFUSA’s Tsunami Initiative in Banda Aceh, Indonesia, the hardest hit area of last year’s devastating tsunami. Oliver, shown here with new friends, is assisting two partner microfinance institutions, YAMIDA and YKBS, implement an automated information, financial and portfolio management system to more accurately and efficiently serve poor microfinance clients. The improved operations of our partners will also help strengthen their capacity to serve more families who are rebuilding their lives in the tsunami-affected area.
