Occupation:
resident physician in psychiatry
I loan because:
Though I've long been impressed with microfinance's ability to make a difference in people's lives around the world, I never thought I'd get directly involved, because I don't know that much about business or finance. Then, in 2006, I found out from my friends Heather Docker and Nathan Folkert that some of our classmates had created KIVA, and I think that what they're doing doing is great! Be sure to check out Nate's story with Grace Ayaa that was on Frontline (see link below)! It makes me happy to be able to support these entrepreneurs who are working hard to make the world a better place for themselves and their communities! Good luck! And Yay Kiva!
