Seeds of Change

Old and new friends celebrated the power of global connection at the Seeds of Change event on September 19th, 2025 at the Garver Feed Mill in Madison. It was an unforgettable evening of lively music, food and drink from the countries we are active in, and the opportunity to gather together in person.

We danced to the music of Grupo Candela, Madison’s beloved Latin band, known for their infectious energy and crowd-favorite dance lesson.

A really excited raffle winner took home an absolutely amazing original work of art that was commissioned for the event and other raffle prizes were taken home by lucky winners.

We look forward to our next opportunity to share our story in the near future.

Drumlin Ridge Winery Social

The Drumlin Ridge Winery Social was low key, informal gathering for WorldWise Microfinance to share information about the power of microfinance. We met Evan Lory, a Waunakee High School student who was an accounting apprentice with WorldWise Microfinance as part of the Wisconsin Youth Apprenticeship (YA) Program. Evan had recently traveled to the Dominican Republic to deliver money he raised for small loans to women in the community of La Piedra. Event participants also met other members of the board of WorldWise Microfinance, who shared program successes and plans for the future.

Drumlin Ridge Winerys co-hosted this event. $2 from every glass of wine or bottle sold during the evening went towards supporting WorldWise Microfinance.
