Hello!

Hi!

I just made a loan to someone in the developing world using a revolutionary new
website called Kiva (www.kiva.org).

You can go to Kiva's website and lend to someone in the developing world who
needs a loan for their business - like raising goats, selling vegetables at
market or making bricks. Each loan has a picture of the entrepreneur, a
description of their business and how they plan to use the loan so you know
exactly how your money is being spent - and you get updates letting you know how
the entrepreneur is going.

The best part is, when the entrepreneur pays back their loan you get your money
back - and Kiva's loans are managed by microfinance institutions on the ground
who have a lot of experience doing this, so you can trust that your money is
being handled responsibly.

I just made a loan to an entrepreneur named Guadalupe Mendez Vaca in Bolivia.
They still need another $675.00 to complete their loan request of $2,450.00 (you
can loan as little as $25.00!). Help me get this entrepreneur off the ground by
clicking on the link below to make a loan to Guadalupe Mendez Vaca too:

It's finally easy to actually do something about poverty - using Kiva I know
exactly who my money is loaned to and what they're using it for. And most of
all, I know that I'm helping them build a
sustainable business that will provide income to feed, clothe, house and educate
their family long after my loan is paid back.

Join me in changing the world - one loan at a time.

Thanks!
