The Gull Lake Triathlon is a comprehensively planned event in Kalamazoo County, Michigan to create awareness and support for Kiva's goals.  As a part of the TriKiva campaign, every person who registers for the event will receive a $25.00 Kiva Card.  People are able to register for the race on their own, or create a team of two or three and do it as a relay.  No matter what, every person receives a Kiva Card.

Through this, we hope to make our local community more informed on this extraordinary organization. Thumbs Up

I just watched that video for the 40th (or maybe 7th...) time last night.  She has an extraordinary capacity to convey the raw, incredible, and surprisingly universal humanity we share, usually shrouded behind layer after layer of distractions. 

Really glad to hear that you like it!  You should check this video out, too:

It's from Kiva Co-Founder Jessica Jackley.  The honesty and even passion in her message is fantastic.
