Here's a game we can play.  Here are the Rules

The ABC's of a KIVAN / KIVA Friends Member
1.  only one 'is for' per letter to keep the alphabet in smooth motion, it will repeat so don't worry if you don't get to post on a letter you like.

2.  you must follow the order of the alphabet (American), at the end (Z) start over with the (A)  If you go to post something, and you get the red warning:  Someone has already posted you may want to read it, then you took too long, next letter !

3.  No discussion, just type the LETTER and two words followed by what your use of the word - EX:  "K is for Kivan",  and on the next line, the definition of how you mean the words use.

4.  only one post per person - consecutively.

5.  no fancy smileys, font's, sizes, etc.  (Henry says..HUH!?)   OK

6.  Do your best to follow the rules keeping it clean. 

This will end up looking something like this:

A is for ####### ,  (your use of the word)
B is for ########## ,  (your use of the word)
C is for ##### ,  (your use of the word)
etc.
Z is for #### ,  (your use of the word)

Can we do it?   

Best to read this from Old to New Setting or fast scroll to the bottom, then up.

D is for disintermediation

Which is what Kiva does by eliminating middle men--connecting loaners to borrowers.

I is for individualized.

"When you start saying, 'What can I do for the world' instead of 'what is the world doing for me,' ..." = a true Kivan.
