All I Want For Christmas Is…

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:

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;

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!

    I’ve thoroughly enjoyed using Kiva, it does give you a warm fuzzy feeling knowing you’re helping someone, but not in a charity handout kind of way.

    This year we gave all the sunshine.co.uk staff a $25 Gift Certificate for Kiva; they’ve all distributed their funds and had a great time doing it! (We did also give them other Xmas presents too).

    That’s the first time anyone’s used my married name in affiliate marketing. I feel all faint now, ha ha ha!

    Hope you get some more participants, I’m really enjoying donating. Specially to the pubs ;)

    Hiya,

    I’ve just signed up to Kiva, what a great idea and I hope I can help someone out with this programme.

    Keep up the good work.
