Try microlending with no risk

Kiva.org, a microlending charity, is offering $25 "free trials" — join by August 13 and you get $25 to loan. Kiva and microlending have problems but I think overall they help some people stay out of poverty, so I support them.

Disclosure: If enough of you start your free trial by using the following link, I get swag, such as a T-shirt that undoubtedly won't fit me.
