Kids, Toys, Books.....that is all I have to say about that. Mureed Mureed is a 30 year-old married man who lives in Gaza. He supports his wife and five young children. Since 2006, he has owned a bookstore where he also sell kids' supplies. He needs a loan of $2000 to buy more books and toys to display in his bookstore. Mureed is a successful and motivated man who is aiming to develop his business, and he is grateful for all the help he can get.
Love

I mean, whose to say these new toys will be a hit? He may not be very popular, it's hard to tell...   |

Anybody love volleyball?See http://www.kiva.org/lend/174709?_tpos=1&_tpg=1Thought this was a cute line at the end of the loan description: "His hope in life is to have food for his entire family, and that all of his children are professionals, advance, and buy their own house. On Sundays that are not working days, Jorge Luis plays volleyball in the community and buys food for the family." Lynn

Henry,
All I will say is that this is proof positive that you "are completely blatant and shameless" and that you are someone who needs to "change their selfish attitude".
I hope you will go sit in the corner (again) or, at the very least, make an act of contrition & say 10 our fathers & 10 hail marys so you can be absolved of your sin(s).
P.S. Henry, is that loan real or something you just made up/pieced together on the computer? You know how sometimes it's the photo that makes you go for the loan-- well of course I saw that photo - said - I got to have it!!!! Funded it then went back to read the LD, I do think there was a different description there in the beginning that has since been edited, but I solely grabbed that one due to the photo. Bikeme - my dear friend... I am never out of the corner!  |
