In the last month she found out she was accepted into the Kiva Fellowship program, and she just found out that she will be serving in Vera Cruz, Mexico for 4 months starting in February. The Fellows Program with Kiva is an unpaid, volunteer position, and she will need to fund her trip herself, and with the help and support of others…you can help…she has set up a site on Indiegogo, her
contribution site is: http://igg.me/p/55811 (any amount will help her out, $5, $10 or more) so please consider helping her with her work. She has just started her fundraising…so even if you can”t support her with cash, please help her spread the word about Kiva and her fellowship:
