Breakthrough Breast Cancer donation October 2011

This has been a great month so far - two donations to wonderful charities!  The second was made in support of a old friend who is running in England to raise money for charity.  You can read about this event here http://www.justgiving.com/Rachel-Davies3


Kiva loan October 2011

I am delighted to post the details of my 4th Kiva loan! 



This is Magdalena.  She lives in the Philippines and is 51 years old, married and has four adult children.  The family lives happily in their village planting and harvesting rice and vegetables for sale.  Magdalena and her husband work hard so that their children can finish their studies and lead a better life but it is very difficult and they endure hardships.  To make additional income, she raises ducks and this loan was requested to buy feed and additional ducks that lay eggs for sale.
