So, I'm taking some inspiration from Lindsay's blog on charities and sharing with you guys a really cool charity that I learned about. It's a site called Kiva and it's full of small business hopefuls around the world who post a profile to the site in the hopes to garner enough money to start their business through a loan. You loan them an amount, as do others, and when their business is up and running and they've paid their loan back, you get your investment back and can either lend it again or withdraw the money. Pretty cool, right? And great proof that it doesn't take much to make a big difference if we all pitch in. My favorite part is that you can give a gift card for the holidays to someone and they can use it to fund a business of their choosing on the site. Happy lending, everyone!
