With everything that's been going on in the news, I've been feeling a bit ambivalent about humanity lately. I suppose it doesn't help matters that I recently finished The Road, a novel which takes place in a post-nuclear-disaster world where cannibalistic gangs roam the earth.So... I've been a little bummed the past few days.
That's why it was especially nice to hear about Kiva.org today from Christine -- it's a service that helps you make loans to small business owners in developing countries. Most loans are repaid in full, and you can make loans as small as $25, so it's kind of a nifty, low-key feel-good thing to do. Christine and I lent money to a 25-year-old medical store owner in Nigeria... feel free to join in. :)
