Welcome to 6th grade CEL class...

          ...on Social Entrepreneurship!

We learn & practice... research, finance,

          presentation, collaboration and digital skills for our

          Center for Entrepreneurial Leadership (CEL) class...

          ...in a global context of social entrepreneurship and

           microfinance.

We research regions of the world...

           ...with an eye towards identifying countries where

           people struggle the most with poverty. 

We model microfinancing...

            ...to the school community as a way to raise funds,                  and encourage any local groups, student clubs and

            alums to make small loans to support our small

            business activities/plans. Proceeds from the small

            business ventures pay back these small loans and

            all profits are directed to Kiva borrowers. 

We are a lending team in Kiva.org...

            ...and work to explore and evaluate different types

            of microloans, identify potential borrowers and

            determine where to allocate our funds. 

We'll track our loan investments

            ...and see how we make a real-world difference in

            the lives of people challenged by poverty.
