I sponsored another Micro Loan to a woman in Ecuador through Kiva.org - Pay It Forward


I sponsored another Micro Loan to a woman in Ecuador through Kiva.org - Pay It Forward

I love working with Kiva.org.  It's a GREAT site that lets you provide small, $25 micro-loans to impoverished people around the world who are trying to start or grow their own small businesses.

You, along with a number of other people, provide a small loan as a group to select individuals, and the loan gets repaid and back into your account to lend out again!

The loan and repayments are supervised by individual financial organizations throughout those particular areas of the world.

I've been working with Kiva.org for about 4 years now, and have provided dozens of micro loans, and have a 100% re-payment rate with no defaults.

I tend to choose women in different countries to lend the money to, mostly because they do not have as much opportunity as men due to the disparagement of women in many countries.

Anyway, my assistant Lea and I work together on choosing candidates.

 

 

 

This week we chose Rosa from Ecuador because she is a hardworking young single mom that works hard in order to take care of her young daughter. Rosa works long hours to provide for her little one. Which we as parents know that is not an easy job, but certainly well worth it!

“Los Angeles 411” The Capital Records Building in Hollywood, California

 

This amazing building that looks like a bunch of records stacked on top of each other with a needle on the top is one of Los Angeles’s unique historical landmarks!

This wonderful treasure of a place was designed by Welton Becket. The tower was constructed and completed in April 1956.

The Capital Records Building or The Capital Records Tower was the world’s very first round building that was designed and created.

Believe it or not, the design of the Capital Records Building was not intended to look like a stack of vinyl records. It was just a coincidence that it does even still today!

For more information regarding the Capital Records Building history please visit the link below: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capitol_Records_Building

What a great piece of history right in our very own backyard!
