This has been on my list of things to do for a while. My money is going to a man named Nelson who is trying to build his house in phases.

I’m very impressed with the Kiva site. There is a lot of information on the site and everything is very well explained. I felt totally comfortable taking part in the program. My mom, who tends to be on the skeptical side, thinks I’m wasting my money, but I can’t justify not helping people who who could benefit from my money when I would probably just waste in on dinner out or a night at the movies.

I’ve been sponsoring a baby girl from the Philippines for several months now. I recently received a letter from her mother thanking me. If you’re considering doing this, please do. You’ll feel so great knowing that you’re doing something that really makes a difference in someone’s life.

Once I’ve got a little extra income, I plan to sponsor another child in the 14-17 age range since they apparently have a harder time finding sponsors.
