What a way to end the year! Got it all done. The last two go to
Sayina Nakku’s group of charcoal-sellers in Uganda, and Tes Dart (whatta name!) in Cambodia.
Feels good to have done it, to have lent a little bit of love to the world (though I don’t suppose one could really lend love…it’s just given…the money comes back…but then you just boomerang it back out there into the ether to another aspiring entrenpreneur somewhere!)
Happy Holidays Everyone!

Another loan repaid. Which means once again time to recycle. Random generator comes up with…Arif Imanov in Khachmaz, Azerbaijan. Must be the 10th Azerbaijani business I’m supporting. Kiva seems to cover them well.
Good luck Arif!

Another 25 dollar loan came back to me, paid off…so of course it’s time to recycle it out there into the world…and lo and behold…
...Alfiya Narzullaeva in Spitamen, Tajikistan needs a little cake to push her ‘underwear for ladies’ shop over the top.
You just never know what you’re gonna get…

Classic!

I love it when the loans get repaid and you have kiva credit just waiting for you when you hit their site. So once again, goodwill pinball…money being repaid from Togo, now comes back to me in the States, and shoots straight back out to…random generator please…Sevil Qurbanova in Agsu, Azerbaijan! For her clothing store!
Godbless Sevil!

I got 25 bucks paid back today from an earlier loan, so I thought I would recycle it back out into the ether…
Random generator comes up with Guloglan Shirinov in the Salyan region of Azerbaijan. A farmer in need of pesticide.
Gulogan, do you know that these 25 bucks started out in the US, zipped across cyberspace to Kenya, where they helped someone else out, then got zipped back to the US again, and now are being zipped out once more…to you?
It’s like a goodwill beach ball being hit into the air again and again…where it lands, no one knows!
Godbless, Gulogan. And good luck!
