I've been aware for a while that I've had some funds to re-lend at Kiva.
Usually I find a suitable recipient as a birthday gift for myself, too.
However, I finally jumped at all that tonight!
That's because Kiva will grant me another $20 for making a $25 loan.
Buy one, get one means I get to help two people's dreams come true!
Yes, she's the one holding the huge bowl of peanuts!
She's 50 years old, and has been farming for over 30 years.
I wouldn't say that Mama was a farmer, but she certainly enjoyed tending to her gardens for as long as I can recall.
I think that perhaps she guided by eye to this loan.
(smile!)
There are two reasons that I really liked it, though.
"Peanuts! Watermelons! Summertime foods that are favorites!"
That's the rationale I left in the comments section of her page.
And the other reason this loan makes me smile?
Mali is a landlocked country in northwest Africa, with some lush green areas in the bodice, but also lots of desert there in the skirt portion.
I think that would be a fun dress for dancing!
What a sight it would be, twirling around to the music!
"Happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me...!"
(smile!)
