I just went to that site, and it looks like a really cool deal. I will ponder that some. The actual "getting of the money" is not a HUGE problem for Pedro, as he has lots of family members. The issue now is more of "making sure he gets what he paid for". But it's definitely worth keeping in my bag of tricks for later. Thanks. Good thinking, guys!

Kiva is one of the most well known microfinance organizations, and may even be self-serve. http://www.kiva.org/ That’s a really good idea.

It seems like the kind of project you read about where people with a little extra put up small amounts of start-up money that goes into a revolving fund-pay out, pay in, pay out fund. I think they deal in amounts under $1000 US and from what I have read about, more like amounts less than $100 US. Default rates tend to run under 10% in the Asian projects I have read about in The Economist. Might micro-finance be the way to go for your friend?
