Seattle Pacific University is hosting author and president of HOPE International Peter Greer tomorrow, Friday, January 15 from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. in the Library Seminar Room. Greer will be talking about his new book, “The Poor Will Be Glad,” which advocates employment-based programs, such as microfinance, as solutions to poverty. The subject matter shares some crosses over with his work at HOPE, a global non-profit that works to alleviate global poverty through the development of microenterprise in 14 countries, including Afghanistan, Congo and Haiti. The event is free and open to the public.
