Kiva Loan: September/October

5 down, 1 to go!

My Kiva loan for September and October goes to Khadidiatou in Senegal. I’ve been itching to visit Senegal since I will likely never live this close by again. Sadly, so far my airfare searches have come back with very expensive results. I’m not giving up hope yet.

Photo from Khadidiatou’s Kiva listing. She’s in the middle, raising her hand.

Khadidiatou’s work involves processing grains. She is requesting a loan to help build her supplies of millet, corn, beans, and peanuts. Four things I very much enjoy eating. Hopefully her loan will lead to future business success.

Today’s photo from the hip comes from the top of Burj Khalifa. Well, as far as the observation deck anyways. My sister visited me way back in 2011 while I was living in UAE. One night we decided to view the city of Dubai from up above. While we were taking photos I snapped a quick shot of us in the mirror. Can’t wait for my sister to visit me here in Marrakech.
