Tonight, something very special is happening at the Newport Beach Breakers tennis match. Ramon Delgado, a member of the team, will meet Bryan McDonald, a local small business owner, to celebrate the impact that Kiva has on the lives of entrepreneurs in Paraguay. Ramon is from Paraguay and Bryan has sponsored entrepreneurs in Paraguay through kiva.org. We applaud Bryan's commitment to help entrepreneurs in the developing world.

I've been stumbling across small businesses that are promoting their support of Kiva. All along, we believed that KivaB4B would be an opportunity for Advanta to provide tools for small businesses to promote their support of Kiva...aka, cause related marketing is not just for the big boys. This blog is a great place to showcase small businesses that are not only supporting Kiva, but supporting worthy causes in creative and unusual ways. So here it is...the official call out...if you know of a small business (and we mean small) that is worthy of the spotlight, let us know and we'll sing their praises to the world.
Batch Blue provides user-friendly software for small business. Go BatchBlue for holding Kiva up...(as well as a bunch of other cool nonprofits). On their blog, they say:
"When Pam and I had our first meetings way back in the winter of 2006, even before we had fully fleshed out what our first product was going to be, we talked about what causes we were going to support as a company and in what ways. As a team, we decided that the issues closest to our hearts were promoting technology and education, improving the lives of children, and supporting fellow entrepreneurs."
Me likes. And...to be perfectly honest, that kind of spirit makes me want to try their product.

That's Darren in the newsroom of Comcast Newsmakers. If I were his momma, I'd frame the picture and say to all my friends, "Doesn't he look so handsome!? I'm so proud of him."
And so are we. Darren actually speaks very articulately and sincerely about the project. When faced with the question, "Can we end global poverty with this project," I cringed...was he going to slip into corporate gobbly gook speak??? Of course not! Darren is the REAL DEAL. This is a piece of the big puzzle...how we help others in far away places.
Nice job Darren.
