What Obstacles do you have to the Good Life?


This is a good news story !
This is why I keep telling you about Kiva !
This is why it is so important that we skip lunch today to send off another $25 !
This is someone's life !

I received a link today to a news story that will tear at your heart.

From Machete To Microfinance: A Double Amputee's Recovery

The story begins... "Yenku Sesay looks down where his hands used to be. He answers my question with a sickening quickness: '1998. May 6. 10am.'."

This is about a Kiva borrower Yenku Sesay and as the article states so well "Were it not for a microloan, Yenku is sure that he would still be begging today."
