What happens to Vietnamese businesses. It has been awhile (weeks) that I've seen any Vietnamese business.

There are at this moment two businesses from Viet Nam looking for funding, and they are looking for larger amounts than some of the "usual" Vietnamese $75 loans: Ta Thi Thinh ($575 for her restaurant business) Nguyen Thi Dung ($1200 for clothing sales) --Diane. |

That's because these businesses are listed through the TYM Fund, where the average loan size is $500+.

Thanks Diane, I got in on time and secured a lend.  In general, I would like to ask for your opinion: is there anything wrong morally or ethically if I choose to support my compatriots? |

There's nothing wrong with that. You can support whoever you want.

Nothing wrong in any way with supporting your compatriots. If they ever loan to Poland I plan to lend there even though I am 3 generations removed. |

Nothing "wrong" at all! We all have a variety of reasons for choosing the borrowers we support. The Mark Agwonah Memorial Fund, for instance, only lends to borrowers from Kenya. It's great if you're in a position to help compatriots in such a respectful way!

I agree that there is nothing wrong with lending to your compatriots. I would encourage you to spread the word among everyone that you know that this is a great way to help their compatriots. Also, Kiva needs translators. If you and your friends have skills in different languages then you may want to look into that as a way to help your compatriots.
