Aces High Kiva Team

I created an Aces High team over at kiva.org.  I even made a loan, I thought, under that team but it somehow got assigned to the USA team instead.  Bummer. If you're on Kiva already, join the AH team  :rock

For anyone not knowing, Kiva is an organization that handles micro-loans to poor individuals so that they can lift themselves up to a better standard of living.  It is hand up, not a hand out - you can withdraw your contributions at any time.

Apparently you need to be in the US to make the loans/or donation.

That sucks...great idea and great cause IMHO.

Micro finance organizations like Kiva and the Grameen fund are brilliant.  They really change lives through work.   :rock :rock :rock

I'll have to check it out. I do not help fund groups that take the bulk of capital for expenses. There are a very few who actually help folks that are on the ropes and just need a hand.
