I want to let you know about Kiva, a non-profit organization that allows you to lend as little as $25 to a specific low-income entrepreneur across the globe. You choose who to lend to - whether a baker in Afghanistan, a goat herder in Uganda, a farmer in Peru, a restaurateur in Cambodia, or a tailor in Iraq - and as they repay their loan, you get your money back. It's a powerful and sustainable way to empower someone right now to lift themselves out of poverty.
~still a work in progress, pls check back~ Vancouver, Canada. I am a parent of a small child, a woman with a degree in Psychology & Criminology, and citizen concerned with the health and safety of the planet and the people on it, I want to share what I know in an open and non-preachy environment so that you too can be aware of potential and largely unknown health hazards, and also learn some fun planet and family friendly things as we go... I look forward to learning along with you.
