I loan because:
I come from a country of ridiculous abundance, even during an economic crisis. A few years ago over the holidays, I discovered KIVA. Rather than once again succumbing to the frenzy of mindless holiday shopping, I instead chose to give my loved ones the "gift" of the KIVA experience: what it "feels" like when you contribute to someone else's life and dreams.
Pay it forward, as we are a global community now, and make a difference once person at a time.
Thanks KIVA folks, for the great idea, and the great feeling!
