notes from the field
A shorter post, to allow myself take a shorrrrrrt break from that neverended essay...
It's cool stuff, too. I came across this post by Lauren Burgoon from Georgetown U. It talked about how people react to micro-philanthropy:
https://digitalcommons.georgetown.edu/blogs/msfs-556-spring2009/kiva-birthday/
...from his own experience.
It's not a dry piece of research paper (like the one I'm writing now><) It's interesting to find out that...
"It’s not only fun to search for projects that do speak to my interests, but also to see how fast they are fully funded." Yeh we can make it fun to give (ref to that loan use description goes: Buy more meat).
The last paragraph is also key to us.
I think Givology should try harder to enlarge our community.
Good night...

I agree - engaging the greater community should be one of our biggest priorities. There are so many layers to Givology that are unexplored. For instance, our projects help addrss migrant worker issues in China, bring renewable energy to classrooms in Uganda - we are doing a lot of exciting work just like Kiva. Anyways, you are right that a social network isn't really a network without a strong and supportive community. Any ideas/suggestions on how to better engage the community, please send them!
