My Kiva page can be found &lt;a href="http://www.kiva.org/lender/geofbirchall"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;. I try pretty hard to find people that I connect with in some fashion. For example if you look at Christine from Nigeria you'll notice that every label in her food store is facing out. Yeah, she's "type-A". One thing you should be aware of, the loans are actually already dispersed by the local microloan partner, what you are doing is backfilling the loan. It's a great way to give and retain some power over how that aid is dispersed. No expensive salaries and office furniture for the office in Toronto. It works for me.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8868346556259764804-8419267104099585389?l=geofbirchall.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8868346556259764804/posts/default/8419267104099585389'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8868346556259764804/posts/default/8419267104099585389'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://geofbirchall.blogspot.com/2010/02/kiva-entrepreneurs-at-work.html' title='Kiva, entrepreneurs at work'/><author><name>Geof</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_bZPtqWtZYRo/SOli0of2PaI/AAAAAAAAAEY/4FwMqFv-5Vs/S220/zapmsn.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8868346556259764804.post-279360946205139790</id><published>2009-07-25T15:19:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-07-25T15:23:08.001-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='blogging'/><title type='text'>The eCommerce Blogger, analysis, how-to's and everything else about e-commerce</title><content type='html'>Okay, great, my employer and I have an agreement on the blogging rules of engagement so if you want to read something of my opinions on e-commerce then pop over to my blog at &lt;a href="http://www.theecommerceblogger.com"&gt;The Ecommerce Blogger&lt;/a&gt;.
