Kiva Fellowship Program

Jan 6 - Sophie Aigner, a Kiva fellow, began her presentation by describing her experience as Rotary Exchange Student to San Paulo Brazil in 2007. She spoke no Portuguese when she began but became fluent after 11 months. That experience led her to enroll in ASU's Global Studies program and from there she has pursued opportunities in non-profit organizations such as Kiva.  She is now embarking on a 4 month fellowship program to South Africa and is raising funds to support that journey. Sophie gave us many interesting statistics about Kiva and how they operate.  Details are available on the Kiva site. The club made a small contribution to support her and we wish her well in her new adventure.
