Micro-lending Rocks!

So over the past couple of years, I've been trying to consistently lend money through a website, Kiva, to individuals around the world.  It's really an awesome cause and a wonderful feeling when you are able to reloan the money once it's repaid.  Kiva's mission statement is:

"We are a non-profit organization with a mission to 

connect people through lending to alleviate poverty. 

Leveraging the internet and a worldwide network of

microfinance institutions, Kiva lets individuals lend as

little as $25 to help create opportunity around the world."

Sound pretty good, right? So far, I've lent to 3 people.

It's an amazing organization, and if you ever need to, you can withdraw your money once it's been repaid (but who would ever want to do that?).
