Kiva: a gratifying way of investing

This is a very interesting and creative way of helping entrepreneurs. Kiva transform you in some kind of "business angel" or "investor" in a way that makes you feel proud, interested in the wellbeing of others and without making you to acquire big risks.
You can lend from 25$ and direct it to a case. Then, when the business starts growing then you receive the money back. I think that's a great way of encourage entrepreneurs to grow, show them a way out of poorness and make them to know that many others care about themselves.
Visit http://kiva.org/ for more information.

Stories from a small planet

I was reading Guy Kawasaki's Blog and I found an interesting post about "Frontlineworld"
You can visit the web site directly by clicking here. It is about a collection of videos and texts talking about entrepreneurs from all the different regions of our planet.
They define themselves like that:
"Developed by FRONTLINE producers in conjunction with public television stations KQED San Francisco and WGBH Boston, FRONTLINE/World is a national public TV series that turns its lens on the global community, covering countries and cultures rarely seen on American television. "
