Kiva.org, "A little goes a long way" Update

With the great popularity of Kiva.org since being featured on Oprah we have managed to loan money to three people. Not all classes have been able to do it and so far there have been a lot fewer student donations than I would have liked. Therefore, I think that we will be tracking the loans as a school rather than as individual classes.
More info to come.
In the meantime, here's the rundown on who we've lent money to(click on the pictures to find out more):

SANFO ISSIAKA from Cote D'Ivoire in Africa





Fukart Sultonov from Tajikistan








Martha Álvarez from Ecuador










There is also more info about Kiva.org at the PBS's Frontline World site. There is an article, a video link, and more if you click here. Or the video link is here.

Check it out.
