Kiva and the holidays

Kiva had record traffic over the holidays. As I was home for the holidays, I volunteered for several shifts. As quickly as loans were translated they were moved to the live side of things. Millions of dollars came through to the budding entrepreneurs in developing nations. Volunteering to translate is interesting – I’ve translated loans about stores, artisans, agriculture, hardware and car repair shops. If you are a language teacher, consider volunteering to translate. It’s a great way to keep your language skills up to date. And there is a terrific support community for the translators, too!
