Project for Awesome: Kiva.org

From Kiva.org:
"Kiva's mission is to connect people through lending for the sake of alleviating poverty.

Kiva is the world's first person-to-person micro-lending website, empowering individuals to lend directly to unique entrepreneurs in the developing world."

Go to Kiva (http://www.kiva.org) today and start lending. Your small loan can help someone in the developing world become self sufficient so that they can support their family. Then, once the loan is repaid, that same money can help someone else. It's a cycle of awesome!

This video is part of the 2008 Project for Awesome (http://www.projectforawesome.com).

I keep trying to change the thumbnail for this video to the right one (it's one of my options) but it won't change. Sigh. At least the thumbnail that's sticking is most of the P4A thumb.
