Social Safety Net...

What would we do if we had no social safety net? Who would you turn to in a time of critical need? How would we deal with our lives being turned upside down and inside out?

A volunteer with Kiva (Milena Arciszewski) has put together this amateur documentary video to document what she found while visiting Kiva clients in the town of Srebrenica in Bosnia and Herzegovina. She says in her blog...

"In 2004, the International Criminal Tribunal ruled unanimously that the Srebrenica massacre in Bosnia in 1995 was genocide.

I visited Srebrenica last week. I put together a video with a little history, photographs, and an interview with a Kiva Borrower whose husband was killed in the war and whose life has never fully recovered. I hate to sound cliche, but the entire experience broke my heart." (read more on her blog...)
