FP Human Rights Club - Kiva Lenders NYC Launch Event

For the past eight years, FP Librarian Maria Alegre has been working with Kiva a non-profit organization with a mission to connect people through lending to alleviate poverty. Maria introduced Kiva to the members of the FP Human Rights Club. Their efforts were noticed by the CEO of Kiva, Premal Shah, and he asked Maria to give a speech at the Kiva launch event in NYC! Even better, he asked her to open for the keynote speaker: President Bill Clinton.
The 3rd grade students of the Human Rights Club had an opportunity to accompany Maria and speak on stage with the President. In attendance as advisors and chaperones were Ellen Stein, Kelvina Butcher, Justin Greer and Trudy DiGiorgio.
