Interview with Jasmin Tragas, Women’s Opportunity Ambassador
Posted by Des Walsh in Blogging, Business, Social Media, Social Networking, tags: interview, Jasmin Tragas, Opportunity International, Philippines, podcast, Trust Bank, Women's OpportunityJasmin Tragas is a woman on a mission to help provide opportunities for other women to succeed. And for many women that means first of all getting themselves out of poverty.
As a Women’s Opportunity Ambassador with Opportunity International, Jasmin set herself an ambitious goal of raising AU$10,000 to enable a Trust Bank to be established for currently poor women in the Philippines.
In recent days, with the help of a sponsor inspired by her campaign and the suppport of a number of bloggers and Twitter users, Jasmin’s fund-raising efforts have received a much appreciated boost.
You can read the full story and link to various blogs where people have posted to help the project, at Jasmin’s A Woman’s Investment blog.
And in this interview which I recorded last night, Jasmin talks in further detail about the project and how the Trust Bank will work.
