		<description>Hi Chris
I love your entry. If only 5%-10% of all Kiva-facilitated loans have this kind of growth effect, imagine where the village, town or region might be in, say, 15 years from now?!
I appreciate your contribution of your time and money as Kiva Fellow. Thank you!

		<description>How inspirational this is. Ms Rita has shown the power of micro-finance to change lives for the better. 

With the problems we are having in the UK banking sector at the moment I wonder if she has any spare time to come to the UK and advise our Finance Chiefs?</description>

		<description>Heartwarming and inspiring.

One can only hope that the help one provides can, in most instances, produce result such as this. 

With a little help Ms. Rita created a better life for herself and her family.

I say, more than well done.</description>

		<description>Very inspiring story Chris - thanks for sharing! I know exactly what you mean - I have met so many pig and chicken farmers - who are of course worthy - but it&#039;s nice to see the expanded potential of microfinance.
