However, I've been inspired to post today after having brunch with my old friend Julie yesterday and hearing about her upcoming volunteer expedition to Tanzania as a Kiva Fellow to do work in microfinance. Microfinance, if you don't know, is kind of a new wave in economic development in Africa (or at least that's what I think...). Julie is trying to raise $12,000 to fund her trip and her work in Tanzania, and, because I'm unemployed and financially irresponsible, I can't do much to help her out right now. However, I thought I would put a link to her blog where you can donate as much or as little as you want (every small amount helps) through paypal to help Julie out. I see it as a way for those of us who can't make the gigantic commitment to quit our jobs and volunteer for 9 months to do it vicariously. So anyway, here's the link:

I'm know Julie would be incredibly grateful for any help you can give!
