And thanks for spreading the word at your site. I'd never heard of this either, but sounds like they've run upon an obvious good thing for everybody involved. Xman: That IS a cool site. Kiva reminds me of what the Beatles intended with Apple Corp. That's kind of fun...going through the profiles and ideas and needs and helping fund a favorite. Thanks for the link! Lynne: Thanks!

Certain phrases come to mind when thinking of tackling some things: "Drop in a bucket, grain of sand on a beach", etc. When I got through shaking my head at the impossibility of it all, I remembered the old saying "Give a man a fish, feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, feed him for a lifetime". That saying jogged my memory about www.kiva.org. A micro lending outfit out of San Francisco that does great work all over the world. You can go on their site, look at pictures, biographies and goals of a whole list of people to loan as little as $25 to. The whole program is tracked/managed very well and has a high 90's sccess rate. It is quite touching. Wow, Joe,
