Third Culture Kids Everywhere: Now A Kiva.org Lending Team!!!

Kiva.org now has lending teams!!! Wanna join forces???

It’s been some time since I’ve blogged about Kiva, and the organization has made some remarkable developments since my first post on the subject back in March of 2006. In their 35 months of existence, Kiva has helped to raise $42,242,485 with an astounding 98% repayment rate. Lenders, approximately 333,396 of us, have partnered with 82,294 entrepreneurs, and now you can even watch the action unfold before your very eyes, live, in real time, right HERE. But better than watching, you can participate! And better than participating individually, you can now participate in teams!!!

I’ve created a lending team called Third Culture Kids Everywhere, because, well, TCKs are my people. I believe that as an international culture group, we know quite intimately the reality of our global interconnectedness. But whether you are a TCK or not, please consider yourself invited to join in the fun. Yes, this is me inviting you to join the Third Culture Kids Everywhere Kiva.org Lending Team. And again, right here.

And here.

And maybe just one more time, right here.

I'm in! Thanks for the team invite. I gave my two oldest kids (5 and 4) each $25 to give on kiva, and both gave a couple of months ago. It's been fun for them to ask me every-now-and then about the people they gave money to.
