At the 2008 Awards Dinner we were lucky enough to meet Dr. Muhammad Yunus, Nobel Peace Prize recipient, whose work was the inspiration for creation of Kiva.
It is always an uplifting experience to meet Dr. Yunus, who is always so friendly and approachable. For many of us at the event it was the first time they had met the man who has inspired us all, and we were thankful that he agreed to take a group pic with us!

Thanks to the World Affairs Council for recognizing Kiva's work in microfinance, and to Dr. Yunus for being such an inspiration to us all!
