I haven't yet decided what form today's act of giving will take. It was going to be a Kiva loan, but ever since they decided to disburse small sums each time a borrower made a repayment instead of waiting for the loan to be fully paid off, there has been a dearth of loans. I will update this post later when I figure out what to do.
In the meantime, I'd like to share the thank-you email I got this afternoon from the director of The Baobab Home (yesterday's recipient):
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Thank you so much for donating! We are so busy and so grateful for new donors.
This past week we took in a new baby girl found in a bus station. She seems fat and healthy and we are hoping for a good HIV answer soon. We call her Laura Baraka. And Last night we received two orphaned boys ages 13 and 6. They are the sweetest boys- rail thin and need of a lot of restoration to health, but a delight to be with.
Please let us know how you heard about us!
Best wishes,
Terri Place

Hi, me again! Terri in Tanzania. This is a great blog. It really is inspiring what a thoughtful giver you are. Karibu Tanzania! We just bought a farm and we are planning for it to be totally green- rain water collection, solar power, beekeeping. Some of that will surely be rolling by 2009 if you can make it, lay a few bricks for us and hang with the kids. Asante!
Oh, Terri, where do I sign up!!
