Here below I forward the three messages about the next International Microcredit Summit scheduled for November.As you will notice, the FIRST MESSAGE about it (from Debra Guzman) suggests the summit would happen next November (at least for me, who would like very much to attend such a seminar as soon as possible). The SECOND MESSAGE came from The Earth Times, answering my questions about more details; it also suggests the summit would be next November. And the THIRD MESSAGE, coming from Results, informs that the summit will happen November NEXT YEAR!!!
I hope this collection of messages below will elucidate any doubt from people also interested in attending this important seminar. Sorry if I have made someone to plan wrongly about it...
