Ok, sorry to post twice today, but this is cool.  Kiva is a web-site intended to raise money for microfinance by connecting actual borrowers to supporters in the US.  You can go and look at profiles of Esperanza associates (or borrowers from any of the other microfinance institutions who participate) and then loan them a part, or all of the amount they need.  The money is channeled through Esperanza, then they pay you back after the loan period.  It’s a great way for Esperanza to raise funds.  So, check out this page.  You’ll learn a bit more about the organization I’m working with, and if you want you can help them out.
