Do me a favor?

Vote for Blue Energy as CNN Heroes

Blue Energy and Mathias Craig are in a last minute battle for the top spot in the CNN Heroes poll. At stake is a $25K grant. A grant like this would be a huge boost for Blue Energy at this young stage in the org's history. BlueEnergy builds wind turbines in the most remote and marginilized communities along the Nicaraguan Coast. As far as Kiva goes, we are bowing out of this race and conceding to the emerging favorite. It would mean a ton for me if the readers of this blog wouldn't mind simply voting here...for MATHIAS CRAIG (not Kiva!!)
