A step to  A C T I O N

The more I work on my economics project and learn about microcredit lending the more EXCITED I get to do this documentary. There is no limit to where this project can go. It's all about what my partner and I want to include in the documentary.

Today consisted on r
unning around, writing emails, calling and researching, all for the documentary.  Just like Charles says in Naked Economics the more productive we are the richer we will become. If we are more productive we will get more work done. This is what I've done the past three classes, I've tried to be as productive as possible in order to do as much with Gisella before she leaves. I've been researching microcredit lending and getting a deeper and basic understanding of this topic. After some research and talking to people Gisella and I have a better idea of our project, documentary, and how we are going to work it out.  

DEFINING the question ⟹ 
Before even starting the reserch, looking for the contacts or even planning anything BACKGROUND knowledge is essential. Not only to understand this topic better or formulate a question but to really evaluate whether or not  this was something I was PASSIONATE about. 

This is the question we (Gisella and I) came up with:
How effective is microcredit lending in Lima?

After developing the perfect question it was time, as a class, to evaluate the following things: RELEVANT, ORIGINAL, FEASIBLE, it CONNECTED to GOVERNMENT & ECONOMICS and most importantly it had VALUE. 

BASIC/BACKGROUND research about Microcredit ⟹

NETWORKING with professionals ⟹
