Well, "models of excellence" may be overstating my personal efforts so far.  Currently I'd fit into either the "model of mediocrity" or "hour of rambling" but I do think the talks have reached some students.  

The presentation is about 15 minutes microfinance/poverty chat, 15 minutes the video, and 15-30 minutes Q/A.

Here's my `digital worksheet`_ I actually use as a syllabus-type thing to give the presentation from.  And the 3 orgs on that workspace, Kiva, Microplace and MyC4 give loan opportunities much like you asked about...with Kiva being the best at this stage (imo).
