Its been awhile since i mentioned KIVA.ORG and micro loans in a while, so here's an update on my loans. I haven't made any new ones because i've been really busy, but I plan to when things settle down. (i did withdraw the funds from my account but i plan on putting them back when i get back into it. I was worried I'd forget to log in for a few months and loose it due to inactivity.)
I've "lent" $250.00 in my KIVA history, but i've really only put $150.00 in. (i've re-loaned the money when it gets repaid. I tend to find shorter loans so more individuals get "blessed" in the long run.)
When things settle, i'll return the money i've "cashed out" and begin making new loans again with it. Normally, I use the money I get back from my 2% CC rebate checks, but since overtime over the year was scare, I didn't contribute any more dollars to be lent. Just used the existing money to re-lend out. I can't wait to get back into KIVA again. Part of me feels like its a way for me to help "teach people to fish" istead of one time donations to help fight poverty and injustice. I'm a social justice radical at heart.
