My good friend has a blog that is worth reading.  It’s especially interesting to those of us who wish we could figure how to live more simply.  Check it out when you have a minute.

He recently posted an article that is relevant to this discussion -

More Opportunities to be Charitable

Another charitable organization has come to my attention, MicroPlace.com.  Like Kiva, MicroPlace allows people to invest through microfinance in the efforts of “hard-working poor people worldwide” so that they can move beyond poverty.  MicroPlace seems to have an excellent team in place and is an eBay company.  I expect we’ll see MicroPlace – and everyone who participates – doing some great things to end poverty.

There are so many great opportunities online to help the poor that it is becoming a kind of side theme of StuckInStuff to write about them.  And lots of thoughts come to my mind as I do.  More soon…
