Amazing opportunity to really get involved in international development and microfinance

Being a Kiva Fellows was one of the most amazing things I have ever done. I worked in Honduras and Colombia and was warmly welcomed into the local communities and the field partners where I was placed. I had a significant amount of responsibility, and while I felt supported by Kiva staff members, I was also able to design my own schedule and had a lot of autonomy. At the same time, I learned a ton about microfinance and met many borrowers in the field first hand. All in all, it was a super rewarding experience that significantly changed the course of my life, as I decided to continue working in microfinance after my fellowship ended.
