Viva Barack!
Last night's speech was worth the long lines, waiting and security checkpoints. Here's some pics I took at Invesco Field - felt great to be part of it all!

Democratic National Convention - Art
Last night I met Shepard Fairey at the wonderful Andenken exhibit "Manifest Hope" - Tom Horne, partner at Andenken, is doing a great job bringing nationally known artists to Denver, and the Democratic National Convention is a perfect backdrop. I had a blast... Here's some of the amazing art found at Andenken and around town - unfortunately, the street pieces are taken down almost immediately, so I'm trying to stay a step ahead and keep recording it all... enjoy!

Democratic National Convention - Street Art
Fantastic street art around Denver during this week's Democratic National Convention - I'm on the hunt to record these wonderful pieces before they are taken down or tagged...

A Photo a Day - #51
My little piece of the Berlin wall - I was very blessed in 1989 as I was living in (West) Germany at the time and witnessed first hand the fall of the Berlin wall.

Kiva
This is Nemesia, living in Peru' - she needed a loan to start a shoe sales business and she repaid every single cent, I'm so glad we helped...
From kiva.org - I have been a supporter of this organization for quite some time - knowing we have the power to help so much with so little is truly rewarding.
"Kiva's mission is to connect people through lending for the sake of alleviating poverty.
Kiva is the world's first person-to-person micro-lending website, empowering individuals to lend directly to unique entrepreneurs in the developing world.
The people you see on Kiva's site are real individuals in need of funding - not marketing material. When you browse entrepreneurs' profiles on the site, 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 in need.
Kiva partners with existing expert microfinance institutions. In doing so, we gain access to outstanding entrepreneurs from impoverished communities world-wide. Our partners are experts in choosing qualified entrepreneurs. That said, they are usually short on funds. Through Kiva, our partners upload their entrepreneur profiles directly to the site so you can lend to them. When you do, not only do you get a unique experience connecting to a specific entrepreneur on the other side of the planet, but our microfinance partners can do more of what they do, more efficiently.
Kiva provides a data-rich, transparent lending platform. We are constantly working to make the system more transparent to show how money flows throughout the entire cycle, and what effect it has on the people and institutions lending it, borrowing it, and managing it along the way. To do this, we are using the power of the internet to facilitate one-to-one connections that were previously prohibitively expensive. Child sponsorship has always been a high overhead business. Kiva creates a similar interpersonal connection at much lower costs due to the instant, inexpensive nature of internet delivery. The individuals featured on our website are real people who need a loan and are waiting for socially-minded individuals like you to lend them money."
