The aim is to help the "lavoratrici del tombolo" (lacemakers) and the budget is 30.000 Euros for almost 100 workers. Any suggestion?

Down here in Calabria, there's funding available for women, particularly under 40 or so, to start businesses--like you said, it would be great to get some of that bureaucracy out of it though!<br/><br/>*Dee, thanks! I look forward to reading about their experiences.<br/><br/>*Robin, I'm sorry I missed that; I would've linked to you too!<br/><br/>*Flutter, nah, just concerned :)<br/><br/>*Moonrat, welcome! Don't let the language stop you--I studied Latin and German when I had the chance and then learned Italian here by just listening and parroting ;)<br/><br/>*Jenn, isn't it though? Thanks for commenting :)<br/><br/>*Elizabeth, it *is* a great gift, especially for those people who "have everything" or even just enough ;)<br/><br/>*Jen, I just love everything about it from the way it's set up to its story. I'm so glad that Dee pointed me in that direction.<br/><br/>*Shan, thanks--and you and your family aren't so bad yourselves. Congrats on your brother's Africycle fundraising! *Sara, I didn’t know about the Italian group; thanks for passing it along!
