Numba One - Kiva is sweet

Good Afternoon people,

So, this blog has been sitting here for 6 months now, just waiting to be written on, and I think my hesitancy to create that first post was that I wanted it to be something good, something at least a little bit profound. You only get a first impression once right. Well, I think I found something worth launching a blog. I was indulging in a little CNN money, and they profiled Kiva. I first learned about Micro-Financing (absolutely love wikipedia btw) at a little entrepreneurial get-together Senior year at Dayton (bank-one ballpark to be exact...). The basic concept being that a $25-$1,000 loan in developing countries can make all of the difference in the world. Basically, Kiva is one of the most well known sites that facilitates that exchange. For me, this is a no-brainer. I am always looking to give back, and I am a definitely a big fan of entrepreneurship.
