My last two loans were largely financed through repayments on my first 5 loans. How cool is that? It’s a revolving door of good will…:) This loan also goes to a family in Cambodia. This one counts toward Team Obama!
“Mrs. Chann Lou, 50, and her husband, Mr. Chamroeun Pha, 55, live along National Road Number One about 17 kilometers from Phnom Penh. They were married in 1979 and have seven children: six sons and one daughter. Three of their children have full-time employment and one son is married and lives outside the family home. Chann has been selling grocery items for two years. She buys them from Koky market a bit far from her village and sells them at her house. Her husband has been farming for 30 years; it’s a skill he learned from his parents. Chann is requesting her first loan of $500 to purchase grocery items to sell.”

This one goes toward the 43things team on Kiva!
“Mrs. Savoeun Hoem, 36, and her husband, Mr. Mao Khoem, 42, were married in 1989 and have four children: three sons and one daughter. One of their children has full-time employment, two children are in school and another one is still young. The family lives in a small village along National Road Number 5 about 17 kilometers from Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia. Savoeun has been selling and planting lotus fruit for over four years. She buys them from her villagers and sells them in the market at Phnom Penh. In addition to selling lotus fruit, she sells fish and grows rice as well. Her husband has been selling beef for three years. He buys cows and sells them to the slaughterhouse. Savoeun is requesting her first loan of $1000 to purchase a trailer to connect to her motorized hand tiller for carrying rice.”

My 40th is a little over a year away. I’ll even give myself the whole 40th year to accomplish this. Of course, there’s a narrow seasonal window of climbing opportunity in the Tetons. So, I guess I better get to planning…
