Obama, Kiva, Life

Only 4 more days left of the longest campaign ever. Or at least the longest I've been involved with. This is actually the first political campaign I have been so active in. And I attended my first meeting 3 days after he announced he was running, and have been working every spare hour I have since. Twenty months. What a long, strange trip its been.

I remember, at the beginning, I had also just started doing work for Kiva and used to dream that I was trying to get Obama elected president of Kiva. At the time, Obama was a long shot, and Kiva was new and untested, but I had faith that both were good ideas.

Speaking of Kiva, my Kiva video "What does $25 Mean to You"? will be on PBS on a show called "With Purpose:Going from Success to Significance in Work and Life". They found it on youtube and asked to use it. I'm quite flattered, its the first or second video I ever made.
