Shelter for Girls in Kenya

This is from a friend of mine who spends a lot of her time trying to make the world better. She asked me to post this today. Today is a great day to help her because its 'bonus' day and your gift will be matched.

We are currently taking part in a fund raising competition with a project called "Tareto Maa". http://www.globalgiving.org/projects/protect-70-girls-from-genital-mutilation-in-kenya/ Tareto Maa runs a shelter in Kenya for girls at risk of Female Genital Mutilation and early enforced marriage. The challenge runs from now until December 31, 2011 (2359 hrs EST).

One way to help us win some extra funds for the project is to just share the project page on facebook by hitting its "share" button on Global Giving (right below "donate" on the right side of the page). The 5 projects who have raised at the end at least $2,000 from at least 25 different people and have shared their project page through this way the most on facebook will win an extra bonus of $300.

In addition, the project with the greatest number of unique donors at the end will be awarded a bonus of $2,000. Currently we are this project, hooray :) - and if we keep it like this, that would be just fantastic! Because an extra bonus of $2,000 would mean that we could build another urgently needed dormitory for the girls.

Adopt a Gorilla

A few years back I adopted Gorillas for my family for Holiday presents. I adopted them through the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund International.

This is a great organization that really helps Gorillas.

Kiva loans to Julia's

I made a few Kiva loans to Julia's today.
I have been not good at blogging all I do, I'm just busy. But I'm still trying to do things every day.

Loans to Julia's.

I made a kiva loan to Juana Julia, who is a member of the Communal Bank “La Positiva” (The Positive) which is in the District of Calleria, Department of Ucayali in Peru. She is 65 years old and has four children.

I also made a loan to Julia in Nicaragua. Julia Xiomara is 31 years old, she works selling general merchandise. She began with her own funds, and with the advice of her co-workers started getting loans through employees of certain institutions. In this way she began to get her own clients. She accepts payment every other week, which is much more favorable for her customers. The funding that she is currently seeking is to buy nail polish, lipstick, vanity items and underwear.

I loan to Julia's because I like the name. I find everyone on Kiva to be worthy, and I have to sort some way. So I look for Julia's. Or people in Honduras because I am trying to help Honduras too. But I also lend to every country and sometimes even just randomly select.
