| I loan because: | we can. We're building a powerful youth managed microcredit lending fund through a variety of projects and initiatives, all delivered through Kiva. |
| About me: | Our group organizes an annual fundraising and awareness bike ride from Vancouver, Canada to Tijuana, Mexico. 25 riders, 3000 kilometres, 7 weeks. We also hold regular fundraising and awareness events, organize university microcredit challenges, and speak with school kids about getting involved in their world. Each member has decided on several loans as they see fit, and so our loans range from $25 to several hundred and cover a wide variety of borrowers.
