Rashid: Hi, Seoyeon. It’s been a while!
Seoyeon: Yeah, I’ve been busy. I got a new job with a nonprofit microfinance organization.
Rashid: So your organization gives small loans to people who can’t borrow money from banks?
Seoyeon: Basically, yeah. We focus on giving small loans to entrepreneurs, in particular.
Rashid: Cool. What types of businesses do the entrepreneurs start?
Seoyeon: It varies a lot. For example, someone may expand their bakery into a full restaurant. Another person might open a clothing shop. Someone else might create something new and start production of it.
Rashid: That’s great. Is there a way that I can donate to your company?
Seoyeon: Definitely! Let me give you my card with the organization’s website address. You can donate online.
