Got To Be Haiti, Right?
Word leaked from Kiva last night - they're bringing on a new country sometime today. Here's their clue:
Got to be Haiti, right? That's where Aristide landed after being ejected from the country's presidency in 2004.
- After one of its former rulers "resigned", he was promptly "escorted" to the Central African Republic
- MINUSTAH
- Mountains Beyond Mountains
Haiti is the poorest nation in the Western Hemisphere by far. It's rated #153 out of 177 countries on the Human Development Index. C,mon Kiva Investment Group - can we make an impact here?
I'll predict Haitian entrepreneurs will be picked up fast - if you have a spare $25 in your wallet today, this would be a good opportunity to invest in a country as a group.

That's my guess... and it's Latin American enough for me :).
See, I'm flexible !
I confess, I googled 'mountain beyond mountain' (and its now on my Amazon wish list) and MINUSTAH. And I came up with Hati!
I have collaborators from Honduras here today and I don't know how much I will be online. But I'll jump on them if I can!
I'm checking out the Haitian options right now!!
Wow I've never seen 22 pages of loans available! I'm so excited to see what happens tonight after the show airs :)
Just curious pig, do you know the sheep? They joined us in our Kiva loans. http://www.kiva.org/lender/bergerie
Haiti it is. We need to fund them hard. Goodbye Papa Doc and Baby Doc. No return to the Tonton Macoute!
Oops. That was old times. Well, maybe not.
PEace to our brothers and sisters in Haiti.
Hey Julia - A talking sheep! Hard to believe. I've often read about talking animals over the years and wondered if the stories were true. Of course when I was a piglet back in San Francisco you could hardly move because of all the talking pigs, but that was a long time ago. Thanks for the tip!
