Kiva groupon

I have been using Kiva.org for YEARS! I love the whole idea of microloans. Having lived in Latin America for years, I know what these can do for people.

Well, on groupon right now, you can get a $25 to give as a loan for only $15! Seriously this is a FANTASTIC organization and you should really check them out. Great way to give back!

Go to Groupon and it was a Honolulu offer or it was also available on the right hand side bar of my home page.

We can do good and save money :)
