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 talked about the essay that we will be seeing on the exam tomorrow. It was the exact question and pictures that we will have tomorrow so that was a big help. The question is about population pyramids and demographic transition. I was very nervous about this essay but after talking a lot about it in class and after asking a few questions, I feel much more confident. Tonight I will study a lot by reading his blog, I will go over notes in my notebook and I will also review my old tests and quizzes. I feel pretty good about this exam because I made a good quizlet to help me study and it covers a lot of material from the beginning of the year, and also more recent things we did. Lets hope it pays off.

Today in human geo we started class by turning in our world leaders project and going over the correct answers. Today's class was only 40 minutes because we had a two hour delay due to the snow. I thought and hoped we were going to be off but that wasn't the case. The world leaders project was fairly easy for the most part. The only part that was hard was finding the leader because there were a few options to choose from. I hope I get a good grade so that I can end this quarter with an A because currently I have a high B. Also we have a test about the different States coming up that I will need to make sure I study for.

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.
