Thanks so much - I needed a bronze (for my collection) and WOW - what a coincidence because...

I had looked for a loan for myself for my birthday gift today Smiley and got the last 25 on this lovely one that Cloudia posted this morning...

so now my birthday loan is also my final Olympic medal loan

whoopee

Jan, happy birthday to you, all the best.  Birthday
I'd love to join you in the loan to Ni Putu Sulasmi, but it is fully raised now. But well, I can see other KivaFriends join you in that loan.

Update: Indonesia just got 1 GOLD medal from badminton, won by our top male double Markis Kido & Hendra Setiawan (we share the same first name Grin). Yay!!!  Thumbs Up

Cheers,

I find not direction in the readings of those with whom my eccentricities are similar, but rather validation.

My only solace is that I find a peaceful place where I might be resigned to my depriving loneliness.

"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
