Chapter 23 Reflection

In the biographical narrative Mountains Beyond Mountains, by Tracy Kidder, chapter 23 makes a refernce to a term know as World Bank. I decided to research this term and I found out that thw Wold Bank is an international financial institution that provides loans to poor countries. The World Banks main goal is to reduce poverty around the world. Theres a total of 257 countries that are part of this organization, including the United States, with the headquarters located in Washington D.C. This institute was created in 1944, originally with the same goal, and is still around to this date.
