Kiva U Summit: What Teens Think
On the first night of the Kiva U Summit we realized that all of the teens who attended were all so motivated in the work they were doing. We came to this conclusion as we watched each of their faces light up while we talked and got to know each other. We will admit, at times we do get discouraged with how inactive and uneducated people can be on the issues, but each one of these students were intelligent, well spoken, and confident. We knew we had to capture them on camera. So Alexis asked their permission and pulled them aside throughout the weekend so do small interviews to compile into a video. This is the result. Please watch and share it around! And join our Kiva lending team!
