At the “African Ice” Shack in Cottonwood Heights, after ordering your snow cone from a myriad of flavors you receive a coin; A shilling for each snow cone ordered. The customer then has a choice of three different loan participants in which to place the shilling. Why?

To “Shave the World” according to the sign at “African Ice”.  Insert your shilling into one of the three containers and you are helping to fund someone a loan to start a small business in Africa. Many of the participants are women in Africa trying to provide for their family by having a small businesses.
