How you can support TCP Global:
1) Connect us, like Nepal RPCV Michelle did, with new loan partners in your country
2) Forward this notice so others can learn from Marvin how a little capital can have a huge impact.
3) Volunteer like Kenney, to mentor a loan program in a country you know well
4) Make a donation like Tim Lawler of Miami

The impact of some of these changes may seem small today. While I celebrate the small changes, I also bank on their impact fifty years from now!
Tim Lawler served as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Colombia and served as Director for Outreach and Counseling at Peace Corps until his retirement.
