more great people.

There are great people everywhere, and we recently started working with one more. Preethy is a designer that graduated from the National Institute of Fashion Technology, which is recognized as India's top fashion school. She has spent quite a bit of time working for export companies and designing clothes for movies. She has proven to be very competent and the ladies love working with her and learning from her. Rabekha said that it would have been great to have started working with Preethy a year ago. ... Amen to that.

A few days ago I was talking with Preethy about money, making sure that she knew we were going to pay her for her time with us. She told me "it is not about the money." She said that while she was working with the ladies she got a better understanding of what Nivi Empowerment is doing and she wasn't worried about the particulars of the pay scale. How do we keep running into such great people?
