...Everyone, thank you for your words and comments.<br /><br />Amanda, KIVA is a huge non profit org. based here in San Francisco. It is very well known and has an excellent reputation.<br /> <br />The basics are: When you make a donation to KIVA to help someone build their business in a poor and/or third world country, it is basically a loan. You are lending them the money for their business and Joanne Olivierihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01856998108256408734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-353302510092618255.post-11822599483952797562012-09-20T09:53:32.251-07:002012-09-20T09:53:32.251-07:00Nice write up about volunteering.

I would like to do the much more depth and breath of volunteering and donating one day I am capable, otherwise, I need to be quite rich and have found a volunteer to care for my children. I will have to add this book to my goals. <br />1) I have volunteered.

We don't often get to hear how our words and deeds influence the lives of others, and your choices are just the sort of action that I hoped my book would encourage.
