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.
