BaoBank at the Fêtes de Bayonne

Last weekend most of the team convened in Bayonne in southern France for the Fêtes de Bayonne. Similar to the celebrations of San Fermin in Pamplona (aka: the running of the bulls), everybody in town was dressed in white with a touch of red - shirts from our peña in the pictures.

We seized the opportunity to organize a fundraising dinner. It was good to see new and familiar faces and talk about the efforts in Réo.

Early activity

We just received word that the first business proposals have been submitted. There were more than 20 projects ranging from fish to peas (petit pois). We will soon post more information about the individual projects.

Blog introduction

We're proud to finally announce our online presence! We've had quite a few requests to talk about what we're doing, so we thought it would be best to start a blog. Join us, as we highlight our experiences with communities around the world.
