I think that more people see this group and add a network for good badge on their home page. We will be able to boost their families for good.

You know what's creepy is that my name is Jessica Flannery.My full name is Jessica Cheri Flannery though.

You know, it's a great thing about San Francisco. I was just 20 seconds into this video and it just struck me: I'll bet they are in the Bay Area. It's a hard feeling to convey. But truthfully, when you live here (SF, northern Cal) you meet really great people of this calibre... not routinely... but often enough to know: great ideas sprout here --- in the city that Bill O'Reilly wishes would be leveled by terrorist action. What i love is that ideas like kiva bypass the whole lane of life. bravo

I just saw that 1-min promo on kiva microloabs. Wow. Perfectly produced. I'm interested to know who, literally which production company, produced and edited that piece. Music is perfect as well. ALL in stark contrast to so many really well-intentioned projects, programs, and the media ABOUT those programs, which more often than not strikes a tone that is off-putting and, in some ways, selling "shame" as method to induce participation. vs TANGIBLE RESULTS without comment. Bravo, world citizens!

I read about your website from Clinton's "Giving" .. Wow! What a brilliant idea! .. since then I've funded $20 each to my wife's two teenage nephews in Ohio so that each with $5 more of their own money, can become an active participant of this world of microfinance! ... something magical may happen with a small sum of money! :) [Toronto, Ont.
