What is Kiva and what do they do?
Kiva is a non-profit foundation that helps people around the world. The foundation is based in San Francisco and it works by getting people all throughout the world to make loans over the internet to people who need the money. The loans are usually around $25 and are 97% likely to be cashed back to you. There are tons of people who need help for different reasons so you can pick the one that fits you the most and gets you most eager to help out.


Two potential borrowers;
Jamal in Lebanon- He would like a loan of $2,000 to help pay for his three boys’ tuition fees. This sounds like a good place to loan some money because this man is using the money for a good cause. He is trying to pay for his three sons’ education. Education is very important and I think it would be very helpful to donate to him and his family.

Kandjime Group in Mali- She wants a loan of $2,425 to help a member buy rams in order to help support her family. This sounds like another good option because she is helping out her family and is trying to support them. The money is going to someone who wants the money to use it for good reasons. She wants to use the money wisely for something that can really help her family.

Today in human geo we started off by having a few minutes to study for the test we are about to take. I reviewed the notes for the given time and it made me feel more confident in the test. We had two shadows so we spent some time getting to know them. Then we took the test and I think I did okay, There were a few facts about the presidents that I didn't know and there were also some about the countries that I didn't know because I didn't study for those type of questions ...which I guess I should have. Hopefully I get at least a B. Also, Mr. Schick updated my Veracross grade for the world leaders thing and I got a 100! It brought my grade up from a high B to a low A so I'm very happy about that.

When I first walked into human geo I realized that the classroom was surprising warm. This was nice because it is really cold outside and most of the first floor is too. I hope that we get off school tomorrow and maybe even Friday. Then we all got mints because a classmate had a bunch left over from advisory, so overall class was off to a good start.  Today in class we started off by reviewing the qualities of an independent State. Then we watched a cartoon video of all the countries in the world. And finally, we got the information for our world leaders project and got to start it.

Today in human geo we had a little of a review day, it's a D day so classes were a little shortened. We started off by letting Ashlyn make up the pop quiz that we took last week because she was absent when we took it. Then we reviewed demographic transition a little bit by going over the graph. That will be one of the questions for our essay so it was good to be able to review it and talk about some key points that we should be including in the essay.  We had a small debate over the world population and whether it was 7.4 or 7.5 billion, we learned that it is 7.4 and that is the answer we should do for the test, that then led to us doing a few review questions from the CIA website to finish up class.
