Join me and Carl for JUG Team at Kiva

[Mattias Karlsson]

Hi,

This is Java Champion Mattias Karlsson, Sweden just telling the world about the Java users lending team I started at Kiva.
Hope you will join me, Carl Quinn and others in this team to help entrepreneurs in the developing country's with micro-loans.

Kiva Lets You Loan to Low Income Entrepreneurs. Kiva is the world's first person-to-person micro-lending website, empowering individuals to lend to unique entrepreneurs around the globe.

The people you see on Kiva's site are real individuals. When you browse entrepreneurs' profiles on Kiva, choose someone to lend to, and then make a loan, you are helping a real person make great strides towards economic independence and improve life for themselves, their family, and their community. Throughout the course of the loan (usually 6-12 months), you can receive email journal updates and track repayments. Then, when you get your loan money back, you can relend to someone else.

Looking forward to see the full Posse team at Devoxx this year!

Thanks,
Mattias Karlsson
