Over the past few months three Vittana fellows, Charlie Gale, Kim Munn and Stefan Tangen, have been hard at work helping our three newest partners in the Philippines launch their student loan programs. Charlie, an academic exploring the theoretical components of international education, is currently enrolled in the Teachers College at Columbia University. He has been working with CCT to launch the E-Loan (Education Loan). Kim is an avid international traveler who has worked at the Federal Reserve Bank and at a microfinance institution in Peru. She is currently at ASKI where they are launching the LEAP Product (Loan for Educational Advancement Program). Stefan Tangen, who has extensive experience working in Samoa, has been hard at work launching the SEAL Product (Student Educational Assistance Loan) at PMPC.
We could not have launched these student loan programs without the help of our great fellows. As the second semester begins in late October, we are expecting to see many Filipino students on Vittana from these three partners along with those from our first partner in the Philippines, NWTF.
