I would love to hear more about the PoverUp campaign, and maybe talk with our Director to involve Campus Kiva clubs in it. Could you give me some more info at ander163@mail.chapman.edu? Also, my school, Chapman University, would definitely be interested! We have one of the top entrepreneurship programs in the country, and they love supporting microfinance and student initiatives.

Best,
Sasha

I am interested in this project and would like more information. Hosting a conference at our university either this fall or next year is one of the goals of our microfinance club, and thus there is potential for collaboration and partnership with your national network.
Thank you for contacting me and I look forward to learning more about this initiative.
