You are welcome. It is really cool. And one of the nice things is that you get paid back in 6-12 months. You can then withdraw the funds from Paypal, or roll it over into a new venture.

Besides the obvious upsides of really helping someone out, if you do not get paid back, it is THEN a tax write off as bad debt.

www.Kiva.org is a great group. I believe the gentleman that invented it won the Nobel Prize for Economics a while back. Micro-finance is the wave of the future. By banding together with others around the world we can make a huge difference.

I hope you look into it and start to lend.
