ALPIMED is a great organization that HELP has been working with for several summers. They are the head organization of 9 other microfinance institutions.....or organizations who give loans out to poor microentrepreneurs to help them grow their own small business and get out of poverty. This summer we taught a business class at ALPIMED to several of these microfinance institutions using a business simulation called ¨The BEST game¨. The idea is that after having learned the basic business principles taught through the business simulation game, that they would then be able to better consult and help the microentrepreneurs that they work with out in the feild. It is a fun game where they are challenged to buy raw materials, produce hats, and sell for the highest profit before the end of a month cycle, where their bank loan is due with interest. Below are some photos of our facilitating the four game modules.
