- We loan because:
- Kalpna Mistry was an amazing and tireless Global Studies teacher at
Berkeley International High School. She taught her students about
global cultures in unique and progressive ways. Rather than only using
text books, she used modern technology as well. By using Kiva in the
classroom for a unit on microfinance, she showed her students how
entrepreneurs in developing nations can benefit from simple actions
done everyday by the students halfway around the world. The students
raised funds on their own, even using their own lunch money, and chose
Kiva entrepreneurs from various countries and professions. The
students walked away believing that the cycle of lending was simply an
extension of Ms. Mistry's dedication and generosity, traits that now
became their own. In continuing with the tradition Ms. Mistry started,
BIHS, family, and friends have started a Kiva memorial lending team in
her honor so future students can learn more about the world and
themselves. - About us:
- Ms. Mistry got our class really excited about Kiva, an online micro-enterprise program, and I hope and believe that the cycle of lending, getting repaid, and lending again will continue, and will always be associated with Ms. Mistry's dedication and generosity.
