I went to the Kiva.org website today to check on the progress of the businesses I have helped fund and found this very exciting message on the home page:
Thanks Kiva Lenders
You've funded EVERY business on the site!!
Our website is experiencing record traffic from recent press we've received, and because generous lenders like you are supporting small business entrepreneurs in the developing world this season of giving.
Please check back again soon. Kiva Field Partners around the globe are approving new loan applications and posting new businesses on the site each day. We hope that you'll soon find an entrepreneur you'd like to lend to.
Now that is news that certainly warms the heart. If you aren't involved with Kiva, I urge you to check out the site and learn what they're about and get involved. It only costs you a few bucks to be a part of something big. Today, they don't need your money, but there will be more opportunities to extend some help to another family soon. Remember, the money you provide is a loan. Odds are, you'll get your money back. You can return it to your own pocket or reinvest it - the choice is yours.
