CLUBS

1. Tired of giving money to charities and having no idea whether your contribution helped?  Then join KIVA Club!  KIVA not only stays in touch with the people it helps, but makes loans instead of donations…meaning that you eventually get the money back that you gave.  It’s an excellent way to show support for people and small businesses in developing countries and it looks great on college apps.  KIVA meets in C232 every Tuesday at lunch.  For more information, please contact: bihs.kiva at gmail.com.
