Will you be giving just to the microfinance organizations in general, or choosing specific loans to fund? CF, that’s a neat idea to get together with friends and do that.

To give money without any strings or judgment is so beautiful), but me and a couple of friends are choosing to give to microfinance orgs this year. We're going to get together for the usual gift exchange (I did craft them some goodies) and give loans via Kiva and Vittana (I hope I spelled those correctly). We're going to add to the loan amount each year and just roll them over into new loans. I'm very excited about this new tradition!

They make you feel different and somehow they make you realize that there is much more to life than we sometimes realize. For the most part we just get caught up in everyday emotions, desires and fears - we forget to smile no matter what. I am inspired that you have decided to do something about it! It really is great! I am going to do something like that myself as well! Thank you for a heart warming article. Best of luck, Tomas Dear Jackie:
