All I Want For Christmas Is…

Posted on 7 Dec 2009 in Development, Featured | 4 comments

Well I’ve made a Christmas wishlist to help my family who have no idea what on earth I want or need this year. Goes without saying boxers and socks are always welcome, along with a few specifics such as:

• Lowepro Fastpack 250
• Photoplus Subscription
• Nude Photography
• Nintendo Wii Charger
• Landmark Trust Book

However this year, I’ve asked friends & family to send me Kiva vouchers if they’re stuck for ideas. I know some people aren’t happy receiving charity Christmas presents, but right at this very moment, there isn’t a great deal I need. Rather than see friends and family wasting money as they have to buy me a gift, I’d much prefer to give it someone who could use it to make a change in their life for the better.

Since first mentioning Kiva in June 2009, we affiliates have donated over $3,000 and invested in over 100 different projects all over the world ranging from a Barber Shop in Tanzania (no use to me) to a Pub in Uganda (what a surprise for affiliates!).

So who’s in our Kiva group and who can join? Anyone can join, and the more the merrier… To name a few, we’ve got;

• Trev Edwards
• Kirsty McKenzie
• Chris Clarkson
• Fraser Edwards
• Lammo
• Matt Wood
• Mark Boyd

I hope in the run up to Christmas, we’ll see more affiliates, merchants and networks join our Kiva group and donate $25, or £15, helping make someone elses life a little more comfortable. It’s only the equivalent to 2 bottles of wine, 3 packs of cigs or 4 beers!
