car parts to go, please

Hey, that's a little inside joke to myself, y'all!

Happy International Women's Day!

Yes, it's that time again, and, as I have for the last seven years or so, I've ventured over to Kiva.org to find a loan that will get matched funds.

Remember that I'm trying to make sure I find a worthy candidate in a country that's not yet on my list, as well as having a market sector that's new to me.

Well, I was hardly on the site ten minutes when this one popped up!

A woman dealing in car parts in Togo?

That was too good to be true!

I have not yet been to that country, but my heart goes out to those in need of parts to make their vehicle work again.

Once upon a time, I used to do my own car repairs, first on a Chevy Monza for two years in San Diego, then on a Subaru in Tallahassee and Savannah for thirteen years.

Now, I drive a 2001 Saturn, my first new car ever, and after 20+ years, its parts are getting to be a bit harder to find.

So, I salute Ablavi and her endeavors to help the women and men in her community by trying to stock some of the items most needed.

I'm sure her two children are proud of their mom!

Me, too!

And to anyone out there in the ether that wants to help,

and especially wants to see their $25 in aid go twice as far,

here's the link to help her or anyone else!

Then you can get a special badge of honor, too.

Thanks!
