I've posted about Kiva.org before. One person I know has joined the cause......won't the rest of you consider. The loans are only $25 - and they are LOANS. So far I've got 3 loans out there and have made it my goal to issue one loan per pay day. I am thinking of giving Kiva gift certificates out as Christmas gifts FORCING my family to participate. Where there's a will, there's a way.
Here is an article I came across today about Kiva......

This is what so distinctive about Kiva: it allows lenders to find entrepreneurs who they can connect with. I know how difficult it is to continue thriving in a developing country. I lived in one of these countries for the first nine years of my life, and fortunately, I was able to come to the United States where I have found many opportunities I would otherwise be lacking. I have learned the importance of being socially conscious. We can all reach out to others in need of help, and Kiva is one way to make this happen. I know that I have the capability of easily reaching out to people who want to better their lives and the lives of their families. This entire experience reminds me of a Buddhist saying: "If you light a lamp for somebody, it will also brighten your path".
