As usual, yesterday, I was watching PBS documentaries.
But following program was really inspiring. (It is a small part in Frontline)
(A Little Goes a Long Way)
Watch it online first.

Immediately decided to be a member in kiva.
I believe in the concept (microfinance & direct lending & to the needy.)
I watched many programs on microfinance.
But I never know how to be part of it or Can an individual can join.
www.kava.org helped me to contribute.
At present I am thinking of contributing to the same for another one year.
Started with 6 & my goal is help 50 all the time.
Please read the FAQ etc in the www.kiva.org before jumping.
“It's a new, direct and sustainable way to fight global poverty, and the way I see it, I get a higher return on $25 helping someone build a future than the interest my checking account pays. “
Following is my lender page in kiva.
