OK, so the world’s full of war and Britney Spears. You’re feeling overwhelmed. Guess what? It’s easy to do something and you don’t need much money.

KIVA.org is a site where you can make small loans, get paid back, and loan again to people that are getting themselves on their feet all over the world. It’s really cool. Millions of regular folks (like yours truly) loan small amounts and get paid back after a few months, then keep the money going. You choose the amount, the borrower, the cause… it’s all legit and all good. You don’t even have to loan that much –they aggregate loans from a bunch of others and eventually the folks in need get enough to do what they gotta to get by. Anyhow, I hope as we enter this holiday season you’ll check it out.

You can check out my page and the dude I chose, relatively at random, here.

The end.
