Yesterday I found out about this organization: Kiva.org
From their website:
Kiva lets you connect with and loan money to unique small businesses in the developing world. By choosing a business on Kiva.org, you can "sponsor a business" and help the world's working poor make great strides towards economic independence. Throughout the course of the loan (usually 6-12 months), you can receive email journal updates from the business you've sponsored. As loans are repaid, you get your loan money back.
Love to see this sort of work going on.

I KNOW!!! Isn't this awesome!?! A friend just told me about it a week ago- his friend from Seattle started it! I've been thinking it would make an interesting episode...
