Ok, so today I received a
Kiva.org gift certificate.
Kiva's mission is to connect people through lending for the sake of alleviating poverty.
It's the world's first person-to-person micro-lending website, empowering individuals to lend to unique entrepreneurs around the globe.
The people on Kiva's site are real individuals.
When I browsed the entrepreneurs' profiles on Kiva, I choose someone to lend to, and then make a loan, I'm helping a real person make great strides towards economic independence and improve life for themselves, their family, and their community.
Throughout the course of my loan I'm going to receive email journal updates and track repayments. Then, once I get my loan money back, I can relend to someone else.
Thought it was the BEST gift to give anyone in the corporate world.
Thank you very much Andrew, Andrea and Louise.
