About Wokaihttp://www.wokai.org/
Wokai is a charitable organization that enables people to contribute directly to the loans of entrepreneurs in rural China, empowering them to lift themselves from poverty.

Wokai was founded in the Spring of 2007 by Casey Wilson and Courtney McColgan, two young women who met while studying Chinese at Tsinghua University. In their travels between rural and urban China, they witnessed the injustice of China’s burgeoning income gap. Microfinance offered a solution, empowering the poor to work their way towards financial independence. With as small as $150, a borrower can start her own business, accumulate savings, and eventually earn a stable income to pay for education, healthcare, and other services. Moved by the cause, they decided to commit their lives to augmenting this type of positive change in China.

We’re going to have a Holidays Happy Hour this Tuesday, December 8th at Boxing Cat Brewery (website). This should give alumni a chance to catch up before the end of the year.

Tuesday, December 8th
7:00 PM. – 9:00 PM.

Happy Hour specials will last until 8:00 PM so try to get there early. As always, all Georgetown alumni and friends of alumni are welcome to attend. We look forward to seeing you there!

Finally, please come if you want to know more about:

  1. Hoyas in Greater China Internship
  2. Alumni Interview Program

We’ll be discussing these issues and others at the Happy Hour. Finally, if you have any jobs you’d like to post, please remember we will post jobs for free here.

After the great turnout at last month’s happy hour we have decided to be incredibly creative and hold it at the same place again. This month we will also be having our club officer elections and are inviting all candidates to come on Thursday night to give a small speech about their platform and allow them to meet and great our membership base. We are still accepting nominations for President, VP, Secretary and Treasurer.

It would be great to see everyone there to meet the candidates and voice their ideas for the club. On-line elections will follow the happy hour so please stay tuned.
