My main man Maurice

                Today in Human Geography we looked around on the Kiva site to look at who to donate money towards. This class was slightly less productive than most, but we did find out about really odd donation possibilities such as my main man Maurice, who was selling ‘fruit shots’. There were a lot of donation options on the site (over hundreds) but there were select few that we looked at. We mostly checked out people in poor countries that wanted to expand their farming capabilities to feed their families and make long term investments but didn’t have the money on hand. One family wanted to buy some pigs, but they needed money to pay for up-front costs so they could buy and feed the pigs. Another person wanted to buy solar lights so they could grow crops more efficiently. Most of these people asking for donations were trying to support their families and these investments would make them able to supply more money for their family. However, whenever somebody has something good going, there is always somebody who’s going to mess it up for everyone else. Seriously, this is a charity based system. Why are you asking people to buy you an AC unit? And anyways, if you can pay back the loan for the AC unit you can clearly save enough money yourself to get one later. Then, there is Maurice. Either this guy is a really good businessman (Which in this case he should be selling stock) or he’s a total liar, which would be incredibly funny.
