Thanks Oli and everyone! Agriculture! That's the word I was looking for when I started this. I kept thinking 'plant-food farmer'? Lol. Agricultural farmer. That's the term. Haha. Got 5 takers so far. Lots of good possibilities listed by Colette too. Psst- thanks Rebecca- glad you found the links interesting. PM me if you know of other good resources I should include links to on that page! |

Rebecca, I just had to join you on this loan! That's my first one to Senegal. I just love the picture with that tasty looking melon! |

Here's my entry: Usmonjon Abdulloev from Tajikistan, who is "... engaged in the family business of growing and selling rice, onions, potatoes and carrots. Besides that, he also is engaged in wholesale tea trading." (Add a livestock seller and a dairy farmer as neighbors and we've pretty much covered the waterfront!) http://www.kiva.org/app.php?page=businesses&action=about&id=40900 Great hat, but too bad he looks so solemn. --Diane. |

Excellent! Thanks Diane!
That puts the count at 7 so far...
(Agreed, that hat is something else!)

Yes, the situation in Burma is so sad! It's too bad that there is such bureaucracy in getting aid into the country. Thanks for posting these suggestion Colette! Are you going to do one yourself?  |

Sherri,
I am in re-loan mode, so it is all about the timing! I have more causes to support than funds, so it will be a fist fight to see which wins out. If I see the vegetarian restaurant in Peru again, all bets are off. Solar cookers would also be way up on my lists. My next loan is scheduled for May 11, I think.
My next loans I hope to find in Tajikistan, Ecuador, or Indonesia (MBK especially). If a good, short term loan that meets your specs is available in those countries, it will be a strong contender. I have three others coming up in May and at least two in June, so it is just a matter of time...
Meanwhile, to support your concept and the foundation, I can post contenders for those whose timing is different.
Colette
