Give

Every day, from now until Christmas, I will post a link to a charitable organization who could use our help. It will be my way of keeping the community and the world in my thoughts during a month filled with the distraction of sparkly lights and fancy toys and peppermint mochas. Damn you Starbucks.
So, have you heard of KIVA? Kiva is an organization specializing in loans to entrepreneurs in the developing world. The best thing about Kiva is that it is a person-to-person loan service. You choose who you would like to loan your money to, and during the loan period (usually 6-12 months) you receive updates on the business. It is a great way to help someone out of poverty, and in the end you get your money back. How sweet is that?!?
