I loan because ... I don't qualify to borrow? I couldn't say exactly why I'm here. I do intend to make up a good reason eventually. I feel much the same about life, since my application to incarnate as a stormy petrel was denied. Sorry, should I be taking this space more seriously? I guess I have *that* problem in life too.
Since I came to kiva I feel a little less overwhelmed, help my friends and family a little more, waste a little less, and whine less.
I look for projects with more production than reselling, and lower-interest lenders. I notice a recurring food theme, I wonder if I was hungry when I picked those.
You may wonder why most of the people in the pictures below are smiling, while my picture on the left, not so much. You might think this is because kiva has taken my money and given it to them. And you would have a point. Except the pictures were all taken before that happened. I like to believe it's because they are cuter when they smile.
About me:
I write, print, and sell cheat-sheets and posters for web designers in 90 countries so far. I have four kids, ages 11-21. Sometimes they help, but each day it seems they want more money and can run faster.
