Kiva Lender: John

Location: San Diego, CA United States
Occupation: Journalist
I loan because: Why wouldn't we? The computers we use right now are individually worth at least twice as much as most people earn in a year. (50 percent of the world's population earns less than 2 dollars a day) Seems like a good enough reason to me.
About me: I am a husband, father and journalist. I tell stories.
