Yeah it is a good thing. By the way the idea is not new at least for me because I wanted to do something similar in gad school about a decade ago but the necessary tech needed did not exist nor did I have proper support and financial connections. The entire project turned out to be an academic exercise. I am so glad to see others have had similar dreams and were able to make it happen.

hi Samurai,

good to hear from you again (Jake, right?). I like this kind of charity, thanks for posting. I will be checking into it myself, will make a donation.

cheers
Neal

Isn't this founded by this guy offering micro-credits, who was awarded the peace Nobel prize for that? One of the rare occasions when I actually agreed with the committee.

Aloha!

Long time no chat Neal! Yep you got the right. I hope all is well for you and your family.

I may not post much but as I told you before I'm always around on patrol as it were. I just came out of the deep to kick a few cans over the patch issue.


So I figured while I was on radar I would share something that is near to my heart in the hope that the members of this fine community would hear the call and take it upon themselves to get involved.

The best thing about this charity is that it is the gift that keeps on giving over and over again and each time you know for sure your efforts have made a real difference in someone's life as well as their kin.

BTW: Something nice I found, a family got together and started to lend money last year. I must say I was blown away when I looked at the profile!! Here is a link to profile: http://www.kiva.org/lender/eric3440

I like to think maybe the SubSim/WPL community would do something like that. I remember back when we had fund raisers for sick members of the community -truly first class stuff to be sure.
