Saroj Yadavadventures of everyday life

few weeks ago almost every other day this is how I felt:
..Kite Runner is a thought-provoking movie…provoked me too well. ..Yes I want to help.But I don’t have time. …. Neil, I want to do something…Steli, I feel awful for not helping others….I can’t work…Yes, yes!! Supercool School needs this, that..I will do it… “Freedom Writers” is nice..how people make a difference?….Milan, I want to do something..change something…feel better about myself…..but I have to finish this book….I have to clean my apartment…yes Supercool School is my focus…focus ..focus…I can’t sleep alright…

last night: I organized a girls night out with a $5 fee per person and micro-financed Salama.

Somehow I know I am at peace now for at least few weeks :)
A big journey starts with a step they say. That step feels so awesome I had no idea :)
Action is definitely more powerful and rewarding than words!!!

Thank you

for bringing smile to “Salama M” in Tanzania.
Salama is 33 years old and married. Since 2007, she has been selling charcoal, firewood, and bites (snacks) to make a living. She works daily from 7am to 6pm and earns a monthly profit of about $50 from her sales.

In the past, Salama has taken out one successful loan from BRAC Tanzania to open a new business. Salama is now requesting a loan of $1500 to buy more charcoal and firewood to expand her business. She will share this loan with her subgroup members who have their own businesses offering tailoring services, as well as selling charcoal, firewood, juice, clothing, shoes and handbags.

Our group finances so far:

Donated so far: = $25.00

my OLPC laptop is gone…to a better place…with a warmer & happier buddy who’s got the prettiest smile after she got it.

ps: I wish OLPC had “Tom & Jerry” video game – one of the millions feedback I got from the new owner of my OLPC laptop !!
