Living Conditions of a Kiva Fellow

By Ed Coambs, Philippines, Negros Women for Tomorrow Foundation
I have created this short video to show you what my room at Negros Women for Tomorrow Foundation looks like. I have been so blessed because as I have talked with my other Kiva Fellows I learned how good I have it. I have hot water, cable (really only National Geographic and Discovery, which more then I have at home in the U.S.) , minifridge, and a flushing toilet. These things are all luxuries for a Kiva Fellow.
I hope that you have enjoyed my spin on MTV’s cribs. If you have questions about something you saw and would like to know more about it let me know by leaving a comment.

I’m most jealous about the hot water…

Now we all know “where the magic happens.” Ed I think I may have you beat with my CCT apt here in Manila, but some things look very similar.

Nice share, Ed! I just walked back to my apartment and that Gatorade in your fridge looked mighty tasty.

(You Kiva Fellows are doing a marvellous job. You keep the connection from lenders to entrepreneurs alive. Great!)

Wow, that is absurd. Your room is nicer than my dorm room in first year of university.
The funny thing is, I made a similar video. But it’s of my room in Toronto so I can watch it in Togo when I’m missing the comforts of home.
Take care!
