I finally deposited my CC rebate check so i made another Loan on KIVA!
Mrs. Eal Nub is 32 years old and lives with her husband Kub Matt in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. To help support their three children and their education expenses, she sells fish in the market and he works in construction. Mrs. Eal has been renting her stall in the market since 2007 and is now applying for a loan in order to purchase this stall. This will eliminate her current monthly rental costs. By reducing her business overhead, Mrs. Eal hopes that she will be able to focus on increasing her business inventory to include vegetables, pork, and beef.

I won't get the funds back from this loan for a really long time, but I liked the fact that she really wanted to buy her stall and expand her business to bring more food to her community. =)
Great choice choosing Cambodia! Scott and Jill from my church in Zillah, WA just returned from Cambodia. I thought you might find this interesting...
