I learned about this website while I was watching t.v. today. I think I was folding laundry or doing something productive at the time. Don't let Ryan tell you that I just sit around watching t.v. and eating Bon Bons all day:) Anyway, we can't afford to do this right now, but after we get our finances in order I think we'll do it.
It is called Kiva and everyone else in the world knows about it except me I guess. You do more than just donate some money to poor people in another country, you give them an interest free loan so they can start a business. Kind of like showing someone how to fish instead of just giving the fish.
I just thought I would pass the website along in case there was one more person out in the world that didn't know about it.

I think I saw this on Oprah or Ellen one time. It looks like such a great idea!
Hi, Julie, nice to chat with you on 'Our Growing Family'! I hadn't heard of this organizaton yet, but locally, The Cottonwood Foundation (all volunteers) provides $1000 grants to people around the world working to improve conditions. I think this is great work! They accept donations! www.cottonwoodfdn.org
