Kiva

I've been meaning to join something like this for some time now, but never got around to it. That happens a lot - we all mean to do things, but...

Anyway, this afternoon I joined http://www.kiva.org/ and joined their http://www.kiva.org/team/atheists and have started taking part in this attempt to make the world a better place. No, I don't think that god (in whatever form people want him/her to take) will do anything, simply because god doesn't exist. It is up to us to take matters into our own hands and make things happen - without hard work, clear minded thought and proper planning, the only way we'll go is round and round (the plug hole).

We need to make the decision to give a way to those with the will to make their own lives better and Kiva and other organizations like it definitely help to provide the way. By making their own lives better, the people we help through Kiva can then start to improve the lives of those around them.

Can you find a good reason not to join Kiva right now and help others out in this way?
