I am a Lender on Kiva
2008-04-08 16:30:00 I lent $50.00 on Kiva yesterday. Lending is not the same as Giving, but I still got a warm fuzzy feeling about my $50.00. What is Kiva ? I took the liberty of quoting them wholesale: See Kiva ” We Let You Loan to the Working Poor Kiva’s mission is to connect people through lending for the sake of alleviating poverty. Kiva is the world’s first person-to-person micro-lending website, empowering individuals to lend directly to unique entrepreneurs in the developing world. The people you see on Kiva’s site are real individuals in need of funding - not marketing material. When you browse entrepreneurs’ profiles on the site, choose someone to lend to, and then make a loan, you are helping a real person make great strides towards economic independence and improve life for themselves, their family, and their community. Throughout the course of the loan (usually 6-12 months), you can receive email journal updates and track repayments. Then, when you get...

2008-01-10 19:30:00 Aunque se rumorea mucho de Kazuki Kato (Kamen Rider Drake), sea el encargado de llevar el primer opening de Kamen Rider Kiva, segun fuentes en internet, 4 dias antes del estreno de la serie saldra a la venta, a traves de la disquera AVEX, su ultrima produccion titulada IN LOVE, donde la pista 2 lleva por nombre WAKE UP!!!Esta es la direccion para escuchar un extracto de la pista 2 del CDhttp://www.avexnet.or.jp/avex-db/katoukazuki/asx/AVCD-23462_0-02.asxSegun lo que notamos en el preview de Kiva, la frase que lo identificara sera WAKE UP!! por lo que podria ser una coincidencia, ahora no es el ending porque las series Kamen Rider no tienen temas finales.Recordemos que Kazuki esta ultimamente relacionado con la franquicia por haber sido el que llevo el uniforme de Kamen Rider Drake en Kabuto y Kamen Rider V3 en la ultima pelicula Kamen Rider The NEXThabra que esperar para ver que se traen de manos..Por otro lado.. el DVD del especial Gekiranger vs Boukenger ya tiene fecha de salida.. 1...

KIVA: two new loans
2007-11-28 11:06:00 Two new KIVA loans made possible by KIVA borrower repayments. The first goes to a group of women in Guatemala (I think this is the first time I have seen a group loan effort): The clients of the ComUnity (the term used by Friendship Bridge for their communal banks) Chikuwa have an astute and patient attitude, a combination that helps them to be the great business women that they currently are. The clients of ComUnity Chikuwa are models of micro-entrepreneurial women. Several members of the group started selling huipiles (traditional Guatamalan dresses) and shoes in the streets of San Juan la Laguna, Sololá. However, with their current loan many of them have become successful business owners. For example, Susan Ujpán now has ten artisans working for her during the high season such as Christmas. Clara Perez is a micro-entrepreneur who began with a small business raising animals and who is now buying 100 chickens per month in order to fatten them and resell them 21 days later. C...

Our First Kiva Loan from Eco Child's Play
2007-09-06 15:12:00 If you read our very busy sidebar, you will notice that we have pledged to donate/loan 10% of any profits through advertising, google ads, and affiliate programs to Kiva. Thus, we have invested in our first natural business. It was hard to pick a business, but we looked for the one that would help to support a family and was green minded. Thus, we chose, Dembele Mariam, whose business is natural medicines in the Cote D'Ivoirie. Dembélé Mariam is married. She has 9 children. Her husband is a retired domestic electrician. Mariam is today the main resource contributor to her family. She is a traditional medicine products seller in Marcory, a suburb in the south of the Abidjan District. She is 51 years old, and her business has flourished since she started receiving microcredit from AE&I. That allowed her to buy a store in which she could do her business in a better and more hygienic environment. She will use the loan to diversify her products offered with cosmetics products. Mar...

Akiva’s plague
2007-04-13 02:13:00 Pesach is a joyfully proud holiday: the Jews prevailed against the strongest power on earth. Rabbis, however, did not want the Jews proud of their strength. Weak Jews are more submissive to rabbinic authority, more centered on afterlife, and more flexible thus have better chance to survive. Rabbis, accordingly, watered down the Pesach. Drunken feast and family fun were substituted for solemn celebration, and mourning the death of rabbi Akiva’s students defeated the Pesach pride. Rabbis forgot to adapt to modern circumstances. The example of rabbi Akiva’s students is counterproductive to their aims. Instead of sitting on society’s welfare, issuing senseless fatwas (oy, halackot) over minute details of Jewish life, and waiting for messiah, rabbi Akiva proclaimed one. Akiva wasn’t a fool, far from that. He surely knew that bar Kochba’s chances against Romans are limited. Yet the wise rabbi did not wait for supernatural wonders or try to preserve his yeshiva, but proclaimed th...
