At this time of year, when many of us are wrapping up work to focus on the important things in life, I’d like to honour one of my favourite charities – Kiva.org.

I took my sons to Ben & Jerry’s for an ice-cream treat at the end of school term. I think it’s a phenomenal business, really standing by what it represents and I’m sure it’s one of the rare corporations actively supporting “Occupy Wall Street.” It’s a company that constantly promotes what it stands for in
