B-Thing #2: Check Out Kiva.org

Very interesting site.

Somehow, I think it would be better to invest and directly help entrepreneurs in developing countries with their businesses to help them succeed; then just send money through Canadian organizations and not really know where your money is being spent... or just donating or handing out money and not knowing where it's going. Not only that, but a loan has the potential to be repaid.. so you can have your money repaid to you and then pick another entrepreneur to support... very cool.

This is very cool. I will share this info.

What is that Chinese proverb... "Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish and he will eat for a lifetime."

I agree that this is a very good example of how a lending organization should operate.
I also agree that the more detailed the information given about how an organization works, and all the ins and outs of it, then the more apt it is to be trustworthy.

Amazing.
Thanks for sharing.
