Heads Up Team KIVA
Our KIVA lending team is closing in on the $10,000 mark. As of this writing, we're at $9,625.00
http://www.kiva.org/team/blue_star_wicca_and_friends
We are four days away from November's loan repayments, and there are 43 of us---I think we'll break the $10,000 barrier before the end of the year.
You read that right: in18 months 17 months we will have made $10,000+ worth of loans to over 360 entrepreneurs around the world. If each one has a family of at least four (a low estimate for Third World households), we will have impacted the lives of at least 1,440 humans living in profound poverty.
You did this.
Whatever you think about your current relationship with Element Money---however frustrated or powerless you may feel at the moment---you've helped influence the lives of a tremendous number of people for the better using a little of your discretionary cash.
And think: how will the success of each parent you've loaned to change the lives of their children? How many family trees have you shifted away from poverty?
I won't be made useless
I won't be idle with despair
I will gather myself around my faith
For light does the darkness most fear
My hands are small, I know
But they're not yours, they are my own
But they're not yours, they are my own
And I am never broken
I'm proud of you, and prouder to be counted among you.
