Bolivian group loans with no currency risk are a great start, but I think next year you will have to find the no-currency risk Bolivian group loan that includes one or two handicapped single-parent men with cows, some women who wear hats and have environmentally-friendly recycling businesses that involve potato-growing, and an orphan or two that wishes to start a business that combines taxi-driving and sheep-herding. Whew, that made my brain hurt.Nonny  Hmmm...if we let the Bolivian loan provide the cows and the hats, perhaps the Kiva lenders could be the other parts? I grow potatoes and support an orphan or two...although nobody in their right mind would want me to drive them anywhere  |

Kivafriends.org scrambled and respelled is "Risk And Forgive." Of course, it also can be respelled "Asked For Virgin" and "Darer of Vikings" and even "Vinegar For Kids" but those are a lot less interesting.

Whew, that made my brain hurt.Nonny Nonny, up here near the Arctic where the ozone layer is thinning our heads are spinning at those lofty goals! Only thing that I would change is how about a new country (new to Kiva that is), this way we spread the giving around.  |

"Our daughters can contribute just as much to society as our sons, and our common prosperity will be advanced by allowing all humanity - men and women - to reach their full potential. I do not believe that women must make the same choices as men in order to be equal, and I respect those women who choose to live their lives in traditional roles. But it should be their choice. That is why the United States will partner with any Muslim-majority country to support expanded literacy for girls, and to help young women pursue employment through micro-financing that helps people live their dreams." - President Barack Obama, June 4, 2009
