I'm not sure, but Grace from Kenya may be the first lady blacksmith I have seen on Kiva, so I just had to lend to her: http://www.kiva.org/lend/562828

Also, Time from Kenya, just had the most awesome name and determined look on her face, so I had to lend to her too: http://www.kiva.org/lend/563033

I'm big on happy endings! ***

*** which is more than I can say about the status of the last story I posted about in this thread, the subsequent developments of which have to have been absolutely heart-wrenching for the family members who'd finally been able to feel some kind of relief, vindication, and belief that there actually might be some kind of justice in the world after all...

EDIT:  Not related....
I've had the life-enhancing pleasure of being able to get more and more involved with therapy and service animal people and dogs over the past year or so.  As a consequence, or extra-added benefit, things like the following have taken on a greater significance for me than they might have had, anyway, with my having been the animal lover I've been all my life.  Maybe or maybe not some of you will find these stories of interest:

According to the FP page, only two. There are often differences these days between the list and reality! Something Kiva needs to fix. Older lenders will remember that there were Cote d'Ivoire loans some years ago, but the site closed after some sort of scandal. All loans fully repaid, though.

Ivory Coast or "Cote D'Ivoire" as Kiva insists on calling it....2 loans currently - the List said 4, so it appears they're going fast...

Here's one and the other

I like the quiet dignity with which Jose Alejandro holds his hat, which he appears to have removed before having his photo taken.
