What do you think of people in poverty? Maybe what Jessica Jackley once did: “they” need “our” help, in the form of a few coins in a jar. The co-founder of Kiva.org talks about how her attitude changed — and how her work with microloans has brought new power to people who live on a few dollars a day.

Yes! We did this same TED Talk Watch Party on April 14th, but we only had a few folks who could come. This particular TED Talk was one we WANT MORE OF YOU TO SEE! We encourage you to put this on your calendar now!

Looking ahead:

Our May 19th activity will be an inspiring watch party:

We all need more empathy. “If you really want to shock the world, unleash your kindness.”
