KIVA


After going to the Museum of Tolerance, I feel this urge to help the world in some way, no matter how little it is. It's the holidays, and it's the time of giving.

I have joined Kiva (Kiva.org) where you loan a tiny amount of money to someone in need in 3rd world country. Whether it's for a tractor for their farm, materials to build a home or supplies for their factory.

It's amazing how a small amount will impact a life. I have been on the website for hours, and I just love the idea of helping these people achieve a better life. A small amount of money will help them be able to do something big.

I just have to give up eating out for a week, and I will be able to change someone's life. That sounds like the perfect thing to do for the holidays. :)
