My wife and I decided to give a micro-loan today to a nice lady named Samaya Khnjanova.  Samaya is from Imishli, Azerbaijan.  I have no clue where that is but that doesn’t change the fact that buying someone a cow is cool.

For the record here is a map of Imishli, Azerbaijan.

Technically we didn’t buy her a whole cow but we partnered with a bunch of folks that all chipped in and bought four cows.  It’s cool to think that somehow we are making a difference in someone’s life across the globe.  In 17 months we will get our investment back and then be able to reinvest in another person’s life.
