i told J about this and we’re going to look into doing it soon. the feeling you get from helping someone else is so amazing and totally worth the $25.

@Lys – Oh! You are amazing! :) It’s totally a worthwhile cause, and it’s so easy to do, too! – elly x

Good on you Elly! Kiva is a brilliant organisation. Micro-finance is incredibly effective and I really think the future of addressing global poverty.

That is so great! I’m trying to give back to the community right now too. I’m currently working for CNIS (check http://www.cnis.ca) sewing a bunch of fake stomachs to help supply learning aids to people in Africa in medical school, and it’s really rewarding!

@Awmb – I totally heart that you do that! It’s so much more than just providing money, you are such an amazing chick :) – elly x

I am ABSOLUTELY checking it out! I’m all over ways to help people, and this sounds just wonderful. Thank you so much for sharing!

@Emily Jane – No problem! I’m all about helping where I can, if I can. Sometimes just spreading the word is helpful :) – elly x
