Kiva: Helping to change the world

To be honest when I first went onto this website I thought, if I donate money I risk the chance of not getting the money back and also I do not make any interest on my investment.

But after putting my selfish motives aside, I began to realize what a world changer Kiva.com truly is. With a minimum donation of $25, a donar can choose what type of loan request around the world they want to donate their money too. This website helps people make a better life for themselves and for their families.

People are hurting around the world, and the selflessness to donate money really shows there is still some good left in the world!

How would you like to know more about yourself by doingsimple saliva swap? Well that is what 23andMe.com is doing these days. You order the kit from their website, send in your saliva, and they study your DNA. With the studies, you can learn about your traits, risk factors for diseases, know your bodies drug responses, ancestory, etc….

This genetic testing service is a great way to learn about yourself. According to user reviews, the user receives a ton of information. For example you receive somewhat funny information such as, they have “wet earwax” but on the other hand they receive information that they are more prone to Type 1 Diabetes.

This is a product I recommend checking out. There is so much of the body we don’t understand so why should we waste anymore time living in the dark?
