Greetings and Happy Holidays to all of our friends and family!! We hope that you are enjoying a special time with all of your loved ones. In recent years we have enjoyed making our own Christmas cards but this year we've tried this new venue! It's free and it's fun. Instead of spending money on the purchase of cards and postage we made a small business loan through KIVA. This is a nonprofit group that helps individuals and families (primarily in poorer countries) start their own businesses. These are generally people that would be ineligible for loans from banks. We're really excited to find out what our "Christmas Card money" can do!
If you are interested in finding out about the organization click on the icon below, in the right column on this page. If you would like to find out about the family that we sponsored you can read about them below and then also on the KIVA website. Remember, you didn't get a Christmas card in the mail this year but, in a round about way, you helped us give a great gift! We'll be posting updates on them in the future, if possible.
We send our warmest wishes and we hope for peace in the coming days.
Merry Christmas with love
from
René, Ahna, Selena and Xavier
