We have provided mciro-credit loans through Kiva for the past number of years. This is a great way to develop glocal perspectives since you can see where your loan is going in (pretty close to) real time. Click on the name below

"Global" and "local" are constructs which no longer adequately capture our lived experience. "Glocal" attempts to capture the melding of international and local realities. This blog provides an opportunity to consider how we can develop glocal thinking and encourage others to do so as well.
