Kiva Lender Grant Union Senior Economics
Location:
John Day, OREGON, United States
Occupation:
Teacher
I loan because:
After teaching a unit about micro-finance to my Senior Economics classes students were motivated to raise money to fund a loan. They accomplished this through a penny war are plan is to continue this with each senior class.
About me:
We are a rural school in Eastern Oregon, our school is located in a town that has one stoplight that turns off at 10 pm. The closest town with a mall and movie theater is 140 miles away. I am hoping that this will allow me to better connect my students with the rest of the world.
