The Start of our Kiva Loans for 2010
We are proud to be a part of Kiva, a microlending organization that connects regular people like us who want to help entrepreneurs in poverty-stricken areas to be successful in their small businesses. With Kiva, lenders can choose where their money goes by selecting an entrepreneur based on preferences like geographic region, business sector, the terms of the loan, and even gender. As of November of 2009, Kiva had facilitated over $100 million in loans. (They also now allow funding of loans to U.S. entrepreneurs).
Photos to Share
As we watch the snow melt, we’ve been going through our photos, comparing last year’s weather to this year… big difference! While waxing nostalgic about how last February, our crocuses had begun to bloom by the middle of the month compared to this February, when our White Garden is literally white — covered in a blanket of pristine white snow — we realized that it’s very easy to take pretty pictures here in the mountains of Western North Carolina; no matter what time of year it is, the scenery just makes you smile.
