Last holiday season, the MindField team decided to forego the traditional gift exchange and sponsor an entrepreneur through an organization called Kiva. Kiva's mission is to connect people through lending for the sake of alleviating poverty and is the world's first person-to-person micro-lending website.
Use Web 2.0 sophistication used to empower individuals and give them the ability help others, even those on the other side of the globe???!!!
In a time where information sharing via social networks, blogs and wiki's has removed a large amount of face to face interactions, it is important to remember that Web 2.0 tools can also allow us to reach out and help others time zones away.
So from one entrepreneur to another...all the best Mariamu! We wish you continued success!__________________________________________________________________Dear Mariamu,Mambo! Thank you for your letter, the team here is always excited to hear from you and your continuing success. Three new sewing machines must allow you to run your business so much more efficiently and turn that vitenge, and kanga into beautiful pieces of clothing.
Please send our warmest greetings to your children, we trust they are working hard as ever in school!
Hope to hear from you again soon,
Sincerely,
The team at MindField
