Reading through the pages of your various annual reports, I was struck not so much by how many of your members you helped to build homes, to buy cars, to start small businesses (and I am not saying that these are not important achievements).
What struck me more, as I could read between the lines, was a certain passion for the fundamental principles of pooling, co-operation and mutual support. I could see this passion and pride in the many references to La Joya, this jewel of a facility that so aptly represents your trail-blazing success.
