Of course, Inc. Magazine has a website and, of course, that website has a blog. It might be called Fresh Inc., but regardless it's their staff blog. Inc.com, in collaboration with Mansueto Ventures -- the company that publishes the print and online editions of Inc. and Fast Company -- sponsored some entrepreneurs through Kiva.  Tamara Schweitzer said, "I wanted to provide readers with as many details as possible about the day-to-day lives of small business owners in developing countries and how exactly access to microfinance was impacting their operations."

Many of my posts on this blog documented my travels and experiences with Senerita, a loan recipient from Samoa who came to the US to meet the woman who gave her a loan through Kiva. Tamara's post reminded me of why Kiva is so unique. Making a loan (or officially a grant) through Kiva is really a unique opportunity to feel the impact of your intention. Tamara's post provides a wonderful glimpse into the life of a loan recipient. I heartily recommend the post.
