In keeping with the goal of having the blog be socially conscious, I'd like to encourage you to check out Kiva.org
The idea behind the site is that by using the power of the internet to network people, entrepreneurs in developing countries can apply for and receive loans to get their business on its feet. Where does the money come from? That's where you come in. By making a contribution of at least $25, your money will be sent to a microfinance institution that manages the loan. You'll receive updates about the progress of the business. Once the loan is repaid, you get your money back or you can loan it to someone else.
