Michelle, Susie and Dylan for reading my post and taking the time to share your thoughts. It’s an honor for me to write about my Kiva Fellow experiences, but more importantly, its a duty. The people we meet don’t have a voice and I view it as an obligation to express their situation as honestly and accurately as I can, and hopefully in a way that enlightens, educates, inspires and entertains. Thank you for supporting Kiva! Thank you Robert, John, Ulrike, Booper, Miriam, Lander. Michelle, Susie and Dylan for reading my post and taking the time to share your thoughts.
