I added my vote.  Nice to be able to support a young Canadian.

I voted for Ryan, too.  Thanks for bringing it to our attention, Jill. 

The documentary about Ryan is very moving and it is nice to know that the African boy that he met on his visit to Africa is now living in with Ryan and his family in Ontario and travels with him to different countries promoting new clean water wells.  It's stunning how a little boy not only changed thousands of people's lives but also the life of his African friend.  This really is a feel good story in many respects!

One-Time, Time-Limited Offer Where You Can Get a Kiva Credit, “Free,”
If You Are  One of the First Five People to Satisfy the Relatively Unburdensome Conditions Noted Below.

This is probably a little silly.  If it is, it’s going to be the very very first silly thing I will have ever done in my life…… not.    I just had one of my inspirations.  (Uh oh).

This morning, I posted, in the Learning Through Pictures thread ,  about how the Ryan’s Well documentary that I have loved so much, finally, is available for viewing on the Internet in its 52 minute entirety.  It’s one of those Pay Per View deals where it’ll cost you either an English pound or $2.03, American, to be able to watch it.

Because I thought it was so incredibly special, and because it’s been one of my many self-imposed missions in life to spread the word of its beauty and its many super-valuable messages,  Here’s the deal I’ve decided to offer.

Today is June 2, 2008.  To qualify under my offer for a Kiva Credit, you must:

      1)   Be a registered Kiva Friend.

     
      2)   Watch the film in its entirety sometime in this month of June.  That’s the time-limited part of the offer.

     
      3)   You must be able to say, after watching it, that you didn’t particularly enjoy it, that you couldn’t understand what all the hoopla was
            about, that you didn’t feel any interest or curiosity in going to the Ryan’s Well Foundation website 
            to see what Ryan has done in the intervening 9 or 10 years since he started this whole “clean water for all people” quest, and/or that
            you didn’t feel any inclination to tell anyone else about it, to share it with people you cared about, after you watched it.

      4)   If you qualify under numbers 1, 2 & 3, above, you must post in this thread a one or two-liner that you watched it and didn’t think it
            was all that special, in other words, that where I might feel potAtoes about it, just as legitimately, it turned   
            out, you happened to feel poTAHtoes, and that you’re ready to get your Kiva Credit.


                                                                                                                                            I told you this might be silly....

Thanks for the offer, Jill.  Smiley

It was a great view! I guess I'll have to "fund" my "Kiva" addiction on my own!  Grin

Edit : Just to be clearer that I viewed the film and thus don't qualify for a Kiva Credit. Sad
