KIVA update

As some of you may remember, a few months ago I decided to try out KIVA and I donated $25 to a group of women in Africa. After just a month I was notified that the women had already begun to pay the loan back. So far I have gotten four dollars back of the twenty-five I invested, and that money basically stays in my KIVA account for me to reinvest. The website is also really great and it lets you see the other people that invested in the same women, and you can also read blog updates from the women and the NGO that works with them. So...KIVA gets a thumbs up from me.
