I have seen first hand the power of microcredit in this country. through the SBAsSmall Business Administrationsmicroloan programs. In my home State of Massachusetts. Thondup and Dolma Tsering. two Tibetan refugees in the United States. were able to start their own restaurant in 2005. with assistance from the Massachusetts Small Business Development Center and financing from the Western Massachusetts Enterprise Fund. Through financing and support. otherwise not available to them from the banking community. they are now the successful owners of Lhasa Cafe in Northampton. As small business owners. the Tserings are socially responsible and support local farmers and their community.
