I want to let you all know about a cool non-profit that is doing great things: Kiva.org
Kiva.org allows individuals to make $25 loans to low-income entrepreneurs in the developing world (microfinance). By doing so,
individuals like you provide affordable working capital for the poor (money to buy a sewing machine, livestock, etc.), empowering them to earn their way out of poverty.
It's a new, direct and sustainable way to fight global poverty.
Anyways, if you have a minute, please check out the site: Kiva.org. Note that they have received great press in
publications ranging from The Wall Street Journal to NPR to BusinessWeek.
I recently viewed a Frontiline (PBS) program regarding Kiva.org and was blown away at how people are responding Kiva. It's people helping people around the world. How moving and sweet.
