We got a lot of publicity from the blogosphere, and it was a tremendous help in raising money to fund entreprenuers.

I just wanted to let you know that Kiva has posted a bunch of new businesses up on the site. We’ve got around 20 businesses from three different continents, and we’re hoping that you’re still interested in what we’re doing. We’ve got everything from a Bulgarian chokeberry farmer to a Palestinian carpenter to a group of Senegalese women using solar cookers for seafood preparation.

If you’d like to write another post about what we’re doing, it would be an incredible help. We don’t have connections to the mainstream media or powerful corporate sponsors, but with a little help we can make a huge impact.
