I loan because:
It's a small step towards something with a huge impact. It's a good feeling to help people that want to improve their lives but don't have all the necessary means to do so. As a student that's owning much in government loans for my studies, I still feel I live a privileged lifestyle and would like to contribute what I can to help others in need. My parents were raised in Viet Nam and I grew up with stories of their humble lifestyle; so it feels nice to help someone who is similarly in my parents' previous situation to improve their life. We all deserve to live a life of happiness and freedom from financial worries.

“Life's most persistent and urgent question is, 'What are you doing for others?'”
- Martin Luther King, Jr
