Okay, so I’m down with strep throat (send cookies!) and won’t be at school for 48 hours, but kiva.com makes it easy for me and other International Society members to make a difference in someone’s life. Today, ESD’s International Society decided to lend again—this time to a 61 year old Cambodian woman who needs a water pump to irrigate her 2.5 acre farm.
But that’s not all we’ve done recently. We have started a program roughly named The mini-International Society Project. And though the name may seem self-explanatory, let me elaborate. The main Society has divided each grade into three groups (based on the ever-helpful advisory system we have at here). Each group will receive $25.00 from the main Society and will lend to the person of its choice in the country of its choice. They will be able to track their recipients’ progress and when they are repaid, they can either withdraw the money and give it back to the main Society, or they can lend it again.
Keep checking back for more of what we’re doing. Spring Semester will be a busy one of the International Society!
