Even entrepreneurs need to rest every now and then. Christmas is probably one of those times that is well spent relaxing and socialising with family and friends - something not many of us get to do too much over the year. We're going to slow down our blogging for the Christmas holidays and continue again on Monday 29th for a few days before the next holidays kick in.

If you haven't had time to shop for a Christmas present just yet (or even if you have), consider investing some money into third world entrepreneurs through Kiva.org's microloans. A steady job and income are perhaps the best methods to pull people out of poverty and what better way to do it, than to loan some money and enable entrepreneurship on a grass roots level. If you haven't registered yet, do so now. All you need is 25 USD and a few minutes.

Kiitos vinkistä (Kiva.org). Löysin Kivasta parikin kohdetta, jota olisin halunnut rahoittaa, mutta niille löytyi jo täysi rahoitus ennen kuin ehdin rekisteröityä ja siirtää rahaa.

Etsimällä löysin hiukan vastaavan (tanskalaisen) palvelun MyC4. Siellä saa määrittää itselleen sijoitukselleen haluamansa koron, ja rahaa voi tarjota myös kohteille, jotka ovat jo saaneet
tarpeeksi rahoitusta (kunhan tarjoaa alempaa korkoa).

MyC4:stä voi myös hankkia lahjakortteja:

Aika isoja korkoja hakivat tuolla sijoittajat rahoilleen...
