When I was younger, I heard the phrase if you won't donate $1 out of $100, you're not going to donate $1,000 out of a million dollars. And I took that to heart. And so way back when I started donating money, even a tiny little amount to girls education around the world through kiva.org and I'm going to show you where I'm at now. And this is where I'm at right now. You'll see I have donated 72,900 worth of loans and outstand. There's 12,000 out there. I made 2,748 loans, 65 countries. And I am currently in the process of doing a bunch more donations. So if you look right there, there's 87 in my basket and I'm going to keep donating. My goal is to hit 100,000 in total donation given to girls education and women's education around the world because the UN says that when girls or when women get educated, it drastically impacts cultures in positive ways.
