    <itunes:subtitle>This is the Namaste-Direct.org podcast channel. </itunes:subtitle>
    <itunes:summary>NamasteDirect focuses on providing capital for first-time loans to very poor, rural women in Central America who have the ability and gumption to start a new business or expand a budding enterprise that will begin to lift their families out of poverty.  We also promise to connect donors with borrowers through Donor Journeys to the region, visiting women who have received loans from our donor funds, and through periodic written accounts of borrowers' experiences. </itunes:summary>
