4 down, 8 to go!
This morning an email from Kiva informed me that all three of my previous loans are paying back on time. I had $4.90 worth of credit to put towards my April loan. How exciting! I love this system.
April’s loan goes to Sos Mary, who lives in Cambodia. She buys and resells motorbikes, as well as the yams she grows. Is that not an awesome business dichotomy? Motorbikes and yams!!! She plans to use her money to purchase yams in bulk to grow her business.

And have I shared this TED Talk with you yet? It’s Jessica Jackley, Kiva’s co-founder, talking about why she formed Kiva. My friend Paul passed it over to me a few months ago. Jackley is very eloquent and her words are thought provoking.
How are your loans doing?
