It's not every day at Kiva.org that we are lucky enough to see video of one of the entrepreneurs listed on our website.

Better yet, Nicholas filmed the experience and has shared it with the world in his column in The New York Times. Click here to read about Nicholas' visit and watch the video. You can almost smell Abdul's bread baking in the oven.
(And if you thought the lady in the blue headscarf, Storai Sadat, looked familiar - you're right. Storai is pictured with Chelsa Bocci, Director of Microfinance Partnerships, on our November 15 news update at the International Microcredit Summit in Halifax.)
