Kiva revisited

From what you've read about Kiva on these pages previously, you may recall that Kiva.org exists to "connect people through lending for the sake of alleviating poverty." As a person-to-person microlending site, Kiva allows the average person to make loans (as low as $25) to individuals around the world who are trying to make a living in difficult situations. Because of a generous Christmas gift of a Kiva Gift Certificate, I've been able to explore lending first-hand. As I receive updates on those who've received loans from my gift certificate, I'll share them with you. Go to the web site to learn more.
