    This is a really great micro-financing site that I just found out about. I think it's really cool that you see exactly where your money is going, and the specific affects that it's having on specific people in another part of the world.

    I've done a number of micro-loans with Kiva -- I'd love to talk more with you all about this (and will when we get to our economics unit) -- good find, Ray!
