Kiva
fundraising was a real rush. People chose different things. For instance,
Julianna and I did a bake and jewelry sale. Other people did things like
cooking dinner for people, or organizing book sales. We had to raise a minimum of
$25. It was very fun and exiting when you got your first customer (or any
customer).
The
fundraising was fun but there were also some challenges like trying to make the
people want to buy your product. It turns out that you have to, as they say,
“sell it”. You have to say things like “cookies, brownies, lemonade, all
homemade, come and get them fresh…while they’re still here!” It was hard for
some people because of shyness. To help the people understand more about Kiva
we printed pages from the website but most of the people already knew about
Kiva!
All
in all, it was fun and hard but what really felt good was the whole idea that
we were helping souls get back on their feet so they could pursue their goals
or develop their talents. It felt
great to make a loan.
