Population Explosion

Rumor has it that 2010 is the year the population of the Duchaussee family really explodes.....

KIVA Loans

I can't believe that I actually loaned a man an Tajakistan US$25 to assist in the purchase of a cow costing $300 and as of this month he has repaid $20. leaving a balance of $5. I find it very rewarding that some unknown person half way around the globe is getting ahead because of the kindness of a group of people. If anyone is interested in this organization, you can refer to the link above. This was one of Julie Barrow's ideas and I'm glad that I followed through on it.
