How can social media help the world today?

How can social media help make the world a better place today?

I’d like to suggest that we all give back to society in some small way.  A simple act of kindness done today.  Reach out to your network with that inspirational message and maybe like the above image suggests we can expand our impact through working together and generate a happy result.

I’ve supported the charitable http://www.Kiva.org as my way to accomplish this goal today.

I’ve been a member on Kiva for sometime now.  To further increase the impact of my loan in a general way, I’m hoping to inspire others to do the same.  You can help someone across the globe for as little as $25.00.  For me, helping makes me feel good and I’m sure it will for you too and the Kiva process is simple and effective.  These are not donations but loans to struggling business people in developing countries.  Why not help them grow their business and by the way, I’ve experienced a 100% repay rate.

Kiva.org is a terrific program and yet there are many others out there, let us know by commenting on how you like to help.

How many people can we reach and help together?
