Coffee And Kiva Loans

I love coffee and I know you do too. I recently donated 20.50 to Project Rwanda and got this fantastic runners cap in the mail about 2 weeks later. You sport the Rwanda colors and it's light, airy, and bright colored for visibility at the same time. Go to http://projectrwanda.org/ to find out more about what Project Rwanda is all about.

I also recently signed up for Kiva, an international microloan poverty fighting program. Currently I am loaning $25 to a woman who wishes to purchase a motorbike to transport her goods to the farmers market in Cambodia:

"Thun Pou, 37, lives in Kampong Cham with her husband, Eam Koy, and their five children. She works out in the fields, growing rice and vegetables for US $1 each day, while her husband works in construction, making US $2.50 each day. Two of their children are employed, and one is still a student.
All of the children are still living in the home and dependent upon their parents’ income. Thun Pou has asked for a loan of US $600 to purchase a motorbike to transport crops to sell at the market. Current public transportation costs have risen rapidly along with gasoline prices and she feels that she can cut down on some unnecessary expenses through this purchase.
With her extra savings, in the future, she would like to raise pigs."
