The first thing that I thought of today when I received an update on my journey into the glamourous world of international finance and cattle breeding was Sinclair Ross' story "one's a heifer". I think I read that story in grade nine, but it's always stayed with me.
In the update I recieved, I was told that the microfinance loan I gave through kiva.org has been disbursed to Natik Asadov, a cattle breeder in Azerbaijan. The site maintains a journal where I will receive updates on the progress of Natik's business and the repayment of the loan. The loan is going to be used to expand his business by buying three more cattle. Although I don't know for sure, I'm sure at least one of the three will be a heifer.
