Seriously, I wasn't fishing for compliments when I asked you why you read my blog - more that I am interested in which aspect of what I do brings you here - but I was blown away when I saw how many comments you've left so far and then all your lovely words brought a little tear to my eye (I blame the fact that I'm still feeling a bit dodgy ;-). I wish blogging were a little less one-sided sometimes 'cause I reckon I could sit down over a cuppa and have a nice long chat with any one (or more) of you :-)
Anyway, whilst I still haven't settled on the final contents of the winner's package, because you are all obviously such kind and generous people, it will also include a $25 Kiva gift certificate in your name! This will enable you to loan the money to any one of the hundreds of struggling entrepreneurs from around the world listed on the Kiva website and help give them a kick start in their financial independence and break free of the cycle of poverty.
I love this concept of micro-loans and empowering the poor, and the flow-on effects from a successful small business pass through their community as well, so you are helping not just one person, but their family and broader community too. Very cool.
If you haven't left me a comment yet to be entered in my giveaway, leave one here and tell me a little about yourself - 'cause I'm a bit of sticky beak as well ;-)
Good luck!
