Last April I made a micro loan through Kiva.org. I am happy to report that the loan recipient, Perla Cecillia Gamez Banda was able to repay the loan and a few weeks ago I was notified that my $25.00 loan amount was back in my account and ready to be withdrawn or re-loaned. Yesterday I re-loaned the $25.00 to Chen Sambo in Kompong Tom Province Cambodia. She raises pigs for her income. (Sorry to the pigs but I have eaten my share of bacon.) You can track this new loan below.
