Who are these women? They are the Mumtaz Nazir ahmad Group that I found on Kiva.

I have been so inspired by Three Cups of Tea (Thanks Charlie) and the work of Greg Mortenson that I was just itching to help women succeed in Pakistan and Afghanistan.

I was also inspired by the themes of the Influx Curated conference that I attended with many students. (Thanks for all who came and Ed Cotton for making it easier for student attendance.)

So, I finally started the Account Planner Kiva team I've been meaning to get going. It just seems to make sense; we have many shared principles. We believe in different. We believe in small changes having a big impact. We believe in diversity and creating sparks. We believe in inspiring and making interesting and wonderful things happen. So, we should be "doing kiva work", promoting ideas and entrepreneurial spirit around the world. And Kiva is so amazing in that it allows you to loan how much you want, to who you want and follow the impact. It gets you from outside the stadium to the sidelines of helping end poverty. I still hope that one day, we can get in the game.
