Today in class we finished up those group projects. I think everybody did a great job. But you can tell who put in the more work. I know I laughed today because the classes mood was just great.

Another person who caught my eye was a lady in Kenya who needs a loan of 300$ to start a poultry farming business.

All of these people have great reasons to need loans...

First, Dorians and mycenaens began to identify less with the culture of there ancestors, and adapted more to the local area they are living in today. Second, By the end of this period they established a formal government.
