Kiva loan November 2011


Sometimes a photo 'speaks' to me.  That is what happened when I saw Barno from Tajikistan. 

Although she is married, her husband works in Russia so she works alone to raise cattle, grow potatoes and process fruit in order to support and educate her children.

I've always had the greatest admiration for single parents and her quiet dignity and kind face moved me to want to help.  She will purchase more cattle with this loan which will improve her income once they're fattened up for sale.

This loan is the 5th through Kiva and once again, I am so grateful to my customers for supporting me in these efforts through their purchases.
