Kiva

Today in Human Geography we got our tests back and I didn't do so well. But we talked about ways to earn extra credit and one of the ways was to write about the Kiva organization we looked into yesterday. I'm going to start on it tonight and hopefully post it by Saturday. Anyways, the website is really cool because you can click on any person or group of people, even organizations, read about them, find out facts about where they are from, and see what they need money for. You basically donate 25$ minimum to one of these people, it's like a loan, and the cool thing is they pay the loans back and you have the opportunity to just keep on turning the money over to the next person because someone is always going to need it. This website really relates to everything we have been learning about with poverty and everything, and it relates to a lot of issues going on in our world today, which is really cool because we have the opportunity to be involved in something we have been talking about.
