Fat Koko With Hot Sauce

Apparently I've been living under a rock because I just stumbled upon kiva.org yesterday. They're a non-profit that provides a venue for people to make micro-loans to small business in emerging countries. You can go on the site and browse through loan applications and donate as little as $25. There's no interest paid to lenders but the default rate is astonishingly low so the risk as pretty much nil. I prefer to think of it as charity and I've been looking for a way to give back some money or time to charitable organizations and this is as good as any. Anyway, it's just $25 so just do it!
