1. Summary
She talks about the natural sympathy people feel towards the poors, and her experience from Africa. She is honest about how she felt, and what she saw. She says that she found out that it is best for them to have control over their own lives, instead of having others do all work for them and feel bad. Small details that started changing in their lives touched her and changed her view towards the poors. She explains how those people have 'stories' and how a loan is different from donations and the importance of on-going actions.
2. Question
It isn't much of a question, but :
Why is it that our world is divided so clearly into the relatively wealthy people and the poors? Why couldn't we have shared the wealth?
3. How it changed me
I've heard about Kiva at school, and how people get to support themselves by starting their own small business. I think Kiva is a very interesting program that will not only help the people in poverty, but also change the idea of the poors that people have.
4. One word
together : things get easier when done with others' help. It is much more meaningful and effective; people should work together and cooperate to change the world.
