Fistful of Dollars: The Kiva Story

Wanna change the world? No, I'm not kidding. You can do just that with $25 and 10 minutes.

I'm 97% sure that if you're reading this right now, you have both. Either way, you should check out this powerful video.


A Fistful Of Dollars: The Story of a Kiva.org Loan from Kieran Ball on Vimeo.

Kiva.org is not waiting around for any politicians or parish to try to change the world. They are doing so, one person at a time. You can donate directly to someone in the world, which means you are contributing to their startup capital.

In essence, Kiva is turning the world into a massive network of mini-VC's and entrepreneurs. I'm pumped about where this road will lead.

But regardless of whether you donate to Kiva or a similar fund. The main idea is that you are blessed. And I am blessed. And with that blessing comes responsibility.

It's time to stop thinking about changing the world, and get busy changing it. Beginning with just one person: you.
