Thanks Anne and Cari! I’ve since helped with another loan, this one with a touch more thought than the first. What a fascinating and heartwarming way to help out people in need. I’ve been hearing horror stories of charity funds being diverted to buy weapons and limousines, with maybe 5% getting to those intended, and then only as the personal gift of some minor warlord.

With Kiva, the connection is more direct and the feedback more positive. I’m a fan.

And glad to be in the company of others.

Some internet things just resonate. Kiva is one of those. I knew about it vaguely, but never gone looking until now. I’m glad I did.

Voted for your yummy recipe.

I’ll think of you when I’m travelling through Osaka in April. Happy memories of that tiny flat!

Awesome post! My mom works with a parent of one of the founders of Kiva. She went on Semester at Sea program I did in college. It is an awesome organization and a great way to give to the global community! I commend you on your generosity with your tips.
Hope all is well!
