October 22

Had lunch with Kristy who plans to work with KIVA as a fellow beginning in February of next year. She will be involved with micro-financing, women empowerment, and community development in Africa.

KIVA is an international organization that provides micro-financing loans. Individuals (you) may make loans directly to the recipient (you select) in quantities from $20 to $1000. There is a 90% success rate on these loans, meaning that you will receive your investment (without interest) back. This way, you can re-invest your charitable contribution. Think about that ROI!
