birthday money to foster mom elsewhere

I knew I had money waiting at Kiva... but I didn't realize how many of those I've loaned to have fully paid off their loans.

My thanks to the Rosa Mistica group in Paraguay - brava!

They paid off in less than a year.

My thanks to Fatima Marisela in El Salvador - brava!

She is 100% paid in full in less than a year, too.

My thanks to Cucu Kurniasih in Indonesia - brava!

She received birthday money from me last year, and she is paid in full.

 

All together, they have returned to me the funds to support Jully in Uganda.

She is a refugee mother to six children, farming millet, sorghum, maize, and beans to support them and help provide them with an education.

Now, she wants to branch out -

wait for it -

by planting trees.

(smile!)

(Yes, that's a little pun humor, from me to you!)

 

One of the reasons I chose her and her loan is because there was an anonymous donor -

going by "the moonshot factory" -

who was doubling all monies for her loan.

Most excellent!

In fact, she is completely funded and good to go.

(smile!)

 

i thank You, God, for leading me to this opportunity to help another!

stamping out hunger, again

I even made a special trip to the grocery store yesterday, just for this occasion.

Specifically for this bag, I bought

canned beans, canned corn, canned hominy...

ramen soup, penne pasta, cereal...

then I even added a jug of electrolyte renewal fluid that Tony and Laura had bought for me last month.

I was sure to double-bag the load...

got to make sure it travels safely to those in need.

i thank You, God, that I am able to help.
