A great project that Maxima is promoting. Microcredit is very important for the futures of many people around the world especially women in poorer countries. Having local access to fundamental business instituations and practices at microlevel is most excellent and vital for the encouraging of businesses in many countries of the world. It will help to improve the lives of many people who are in at the lower end of the economic scale. She looks great and like Beate said, you can see how much they appreciate her coming. Their own Argentine princess. Maxima, brava!

I agree with you very much. I also think it was great that she also acted as an interpreter for the Dutch delegation. Talk about putting all her skills to good use! She's doing a great job imo.

A girl put in hardships to the safekeeping of Maxima of Holland.

The small one only wanted "to see a princess".

....
When Maxima descended from the airplane, a girl, of between 6 and 8 years, it crossed the barriers ready by the operative police officer watched over the Head of the Police Jujeña, the greater commissioner, Néstor Caffagi, she only it that it wanted was to see a princess.

The imagined thing by the small one became reality when, defying the security bands, at few meters of the perrons of the airplane, watched face to face, moments at which the girl and all the guards were paralyzed.

The princess had the waved, blond hair, dressed a shirt with smooth yellows and trousers color cinnamon coffee, kissed to the small one before the applause of hundreds of neighbors and left to Maimará.

Thank you for the photos. That's cool, Alisa and Emily. Glad you agree.

"I also think it was great that she also acted as an interpreter for the Dutch delegation."

But here is something else. No offense to the interpreters of the world, but often that job is given to someone who, while important, may not get the credit or the glamour or whatever that the people they are interpreting for do. They are often underappreciated. So that a princess doing this is even more credit to her. Using her all of skills indeed. Brava to Maxima! She is glowing too and they love having her there.

"A girl put in hardships to the safekeeping of Maxima of Holland"

That girl will remember meeting the princess for the rest of her life.

Great outfits!

She's at her most beautiful here. At home and doing something she knows a lot about. In Holland she's OK as well, but never as great as when she's in Latin America IMO.

Brightly colored outfits look great on her.
