Kiva Fellows

I have noticed a strong correlation between overseas travel experience and interest in microfinance. I would even go so far as to say that the relationship is causal: spending time overseas, particularly in developing or underdeveloped countries, engenders an understanding of why microfinance is such an exciting development in poverty eradication.

Which is why the Kiva Fellows program is such a great opportunity for people who are interested in spending time overseas and contributing in a concrete way to microfinance. Keep it in mind the next time somebody asks you how they could contribute. http://www.kiva.org/about/fellows-program/
