Vittana - Students in school one loan at a time

There is an amazing new non profit called Vittana, which is kind of like Kiva for student loans.

Their mission statement is:

Our mission is to bring student loans to the developing world through the power of person-to-person micro-lending.

I am really excited for Vittana because I am a huge fan and believer in micro lending, the concept of everyone having the opportunity to help another person. Not just for the wealthy but for everyone, even another student who gives up a few lattes and donates $25 to help another student in another country. I have seen the success and impact non profits like DonorsChoose have had in the classrooms and I am excited to see what Vittana will do for student loans in the developing world. Take a moment and check out Vittana.org

Marination Mobile - Life Changing Tacos!

My friend Dave told me all about the Marination Mobile bbq korean taco truck and when I saw it parked up on Capitol Hill about a month ago I finally gave it a try. Best food decision I will most likely make all year. Seriously these tacos have changed my life and outlook on what mobile food means.

Seriously if there is one thing you do next week for lunch, make sure its the Marination Mobile, I kid you not, once you have their Aloha Sliders or Miso Chicken Tacos it will change your weekly priorities. You'll be waiting anxiously each week for your next opportunity to taste some taco goodness.

You can find them by visiting their site http://marinationmobile.com/
