Supporting a Cause
As part of our Virtual Book Tour we are going to pledge 10% of our website sales during the tour to sponsoring one or two small businesses through Kiva.org.
Tara and I feel very passionate about giving back when and where we can. The beauty of the Kiva loan is that once the money is paid back, we can reloan it to another small business.
Personally, I have sponsored 4 small business. The first two small businesses, Blessing Isehrenren in Nigeria and Alma Patricia Urrutia Bernal in Mexico paid back their loans fairly quickly which allowed me to reloan the money. I’m now sponsoring Rosa Santiz Perez in Mexico and Adila Musayeva in Azerbaijan.
So if there is any time to buy the journal, it is during the Virtual Book Tour staring on Monday, 11 February 2008. Stay Tuned!
