I'm home and it's Friday - yay! It's a pretty crisp morning and even the sun is out yet. It seems that it'll become a wonderful golden Octoberday. As it's Friday I'm allowed to "leave" work at 12.30pm. That's the best about Fridays, leaving early. Don't know what I will make with the rest of this wonderful day. It should be wise to get outside. As there's no work in the garden I should at least go for a walk.
I already went to the gym three times this week.
I got mail with news about one of my godchilds in Pakistan. Shahidas Dad died. I'm so sorry for her. She's only 8 years old and the family lives in poverty. I don't know how it will go for her without her Dad and his earnings.
Haven't heard anything about my other godchild. He's (Saif Eldin) from Sudan and as he's already above 16 years I don't know if Plan International is still supporting him and his family.
Sometimes I get letters from them. They are written in their language and as I don't know any arabic or pakistani language or any alphabetic characters of their language I get a translation in english by one of their coworkers in the country.
I donate monthly for both and I write letters or emails sporadically. Once or twice a year I send little presents. It's not much but I hope they are happy about it.
I'm also a member at KIVA I already supported four of their customers with loans. I'm member for three or four years now and I'm very satisfied with this organisation. I always got back my loans so far. It's nothing you could earn money with but it gives me a good feeling that I helped someone to get into a better live and/or work/education-situation. So far I made a loan to someone in Nigeria, Mali, Kenya and Paraguay. You should check out Kiva's website. It's a really good idea and you are able to give loans (you really get back the money!) to people all over the world who need a start-up for various projects. You could choose among thousands of people and projects.
