More filler words, please.
Never heard of that before, right?
Filler words are those little words we all tend to overuse: “ummm”, “ahhh”, “soooo”.
Each time we include a filler word in a speech, we are fined 10 cents. All money goes towards Kiva — a non-profit that helps support small entrepreneurs through microloans.
TM Madrid has collaborated with Kiva since 2014 and has completed 48 loans since then.

P.S A huge thanks to Javier for reminding us about this great cause.
