Richard and I saw a program about micro finance on PBS a few months back and we both were so touched that we knew we wanted to get involved. Now we help people in developing countries to build profitable business and care for their families needs. We use Kiva. Check it out at kiva.org This is from their website:
Kiva is the world's first person-to-person micro-lending website. By enabling people to connect with and make personal loans to low-income entrepreneurs in the developing world, Kiva is revolutionizing the fight against global poverty. You can make a direct loan of as little as $25 to an entrepreneur to purchase business-related items such as sewing machines or livestock. This can dramatically improve the life of an entrepreneur and his/her family, empowering them to earn their way out of poverty.

Thanks for introducing us to this company. I'm honored to be a member of your group and I think we have the best team leader! Oh and the name is pretty cool too ;)
The team leader is OK, maybe a bit moody, but OK none the less. I wish we could take credit for the group name "Our World Family", but a very wise and georgous lady from Utah came up with it :)
Hi Julie.. I was blog hopping and came across your blog, I just wanted to say hi.. I too, have a son named Rhett. I can't believe you have 4 boys. How fun, I bet they keep you busy. Take Care,
Amy
