Kiva

There's a lot of strife going on in internetland the past couple of days.  Personally, I'm not sure about that particular campaign (you know which one I mean).

Something I do believe in though is a website called Kiva.  The video below explains what Kiva is all about better than I ever could so give it a watch!

The best bit is that, for a limited time only, Kiva are giving new members $25 for free which you can then loan to someone in need.  You don't have to spend a penny, only a little of your time, as all of these new loans are being sponsored by the cofounder of LinkedIn.

I gave my $25 to a woman in Jordan who runs an embroidery business.  Who will you give yours to?

25 Day Harry Potter Challenge - 16. Favourite fan art/fan fic/fan something?

I have to admit I'm not really into fan related things.  Though I did come across some fan art that I really like on deviantArt by viria13.  I just love her style of drawing and the way she colours things so they look almost dreamy and nostalgic.  If you've got a spare minute or two then go and have a look through her gallery.
