Kiva.org had a post yesterday telling us to tune in to "Business Nation" on CNBC tonight, to see a feature length piece about Kiva.org featuring correspondent John Larson (www.kiva.org/lender/john2481) who actually went to Africa to find the entrepreneurs he loaned to!!!!
Of course - I can't find CNBC - not on my little tv:) I did find their website and copied the following intro...
"There’s a remarkable new venture that’s transforming the lives of people in some of the poorest countries on earth. Kiva.org is the innovative website that enables ordinary people all over the world to make tiny loans – as little as $25 at a time -- to small business owners in third world countries. NBC News correspondent John Larson reports. watch video"...
John and I watched it. It really is easy to change another person's life...
Just like the cliche "a hand up - not a hand out" How very true!
later man, jan
