hey guys and gals, all my dearest pals...
i'm sure many of you have heard of this website or others similar to it, but i wanted to point it out just incase some of you would be interested and haven't had the good fortune of discovering it yet.
the website is www.kiva.org
it's an organization that lets you make microloans to individuals/groups in developing countries. (if you don't know what i mean by microloans, just ask... i'll be glad to tell you everything i know about them). i know a lot of us are living on tight budgets right now-- but i'm pretty sure you can make a loan with as little as $25.00-- so we're talking about making a sandwich at home and skipping out on panera 4 times... etc. etc. And a loan that small can have longterm, life-changing effects for the people that use it to start small family businesses in order to support themselves. So... if you're interested at all, please check out the site. I promise it's worth your time. It's a really easy way to "give a cup of water" and make a remarkable difference in the lives of our impoverished neighbors around the world.
sorry this one wasn't as funny as the last post-- but if you only choose to read only one of them, read this one.
woot.
