The people you see on the Kiva site are real individuals in need of funding. When you browse entrepreneurs' profiles on the site, choose someone to lend to, and then make a loan, you are helping a real person make great strides towards economic independence and improve life for themselves, their family, and their community.
After the course of a loan - usually 6-12 months - you can relend to someone else in need. Laura and I too provide finances, in particular to these people, via the Kiva initiative.

B The Foundation Help Burkina offers small scale aid to the friendly population of the African country of Burkina Faso. Since 1991 we have planted thousands of trees, in 2001 we drilled two waterpumps in little villages and in the capital we have built a school for orphans and streetchildren.

In 2003 we built a health-centre in Douré and a 3-room primary school with 3 dwellings for the teachers in Kokossin. In 2005 a “Foyer des filles” was constructed, a kind of boarding-school for 40 girls who live in remote villages, in order to give them an opportunity to go to secondary school in Boulsa. From 2006 till recently we constructed a stable for cattle, to prevent market gardens being grazed or trampled. Also a kitchen and a meeting place for women were realised.

Now in the second half of 2008, for a further project, we have already raised €8.714, yet €20.000 is needed to finish the local clinic, lodgings for clinic staff like nurses, a water pump and so on. If you would like to know more about our charitable institution, please contact me.

C Everything on SailingIssues is free for you. The content of this website - such as my navigation course is unique and to make everything easily available for you, I have:

	Amount of Donation: $

• refused all banner offers, hence no annoying banners;
• made this site accessible for the disabled;
• opted for mega fast downloads via expensive servers;
• kept the online content absolutely free of charge.

However, since the increase of visitors is quite literally overwhelming, your donation would be more than welcome and would only be used for the website's server park and not for myself of course. Furthermore, you would also show your appreciation.

The simplest way to donate is to use this secure PayPal form. The other way is to wire or send me your donation. Please click here to show or hide my details.

Thank you for keeping this website free!
