letting my money travel to fiji

I've been going a bit stir-crazy since June, when I was stranded in St. Augustine.
The new shift cable is still very stiff, making fifth gear nigh unattainable.
So, no highway driving in my recent past and none in my near future.
What's a travel bug like me to do?
Well, how about the next best thing: letting my money see the world for me?
That was actually my thought process!
And where better to go than somewhere neither I, nor my money, had traveled?
The island country of Fiji fit the bill quite nicely!
Plus, my Nerdfighters had recommended two loans in that community.
Bravo!

Teraina was in need of funds for her fledgling fuel business.
What caught my attention?
She's a 54-year-old following her dream of being a source of kerosene and benzene for her community, as well as being a source of support for her family of six.
Yes, I can help with that!

That left me with another twenty-five dollars available at kiva.
This time, the money for the microloan went to Bobo.
She already had an established canteen, but she needed funds to expand, to allow purchase of a freezer and frozen meats for her steady clientele.
Not only would she be helping others, but she'd be better able to support her four children.
Yes, I can help with that, too!

i thank You, God, for allowing me to grant those gifts to others.
