Hello Everyone,
I was going to sponsor a loan this morning and it got "snapped up" before I had a chance to lend.  Is there a way to track the entrepreneur.  I did not make a note of the person's last name but I have the country.  His story was interesting and I wanted to follow it.  Is there a way to do this?  Thanks for any info you can lend.  Jane (new kid)

click on this link Jane...

...it will show you Kiva's loans in "raised" status, sorted "new to old", and gender = male.  Because he eluded you only this morning, the chances are that you will spot your man in the first page or two.  To make it even quicker to spot him, you can change the Region dropdown from "All" to whichever continent he's in...

Hi Jane,    Smiley

Once again welcome to Kiva Friends! Are you having fun yet?!!!!! Did you recognize/remember anyone on the loan? If so, you might be able to track it through them. Kiva has an area at the top of the "lend" page that you can search for "raising","active", and "paid back" loans from certain countries. Once you find the person's page, copy the link. 
Some people hit the "refresh" button to see if the loan becomes available again. I think it can stay in a basket for up to 1 hour before it becomes available.

Jane, if all your wanting to do, as you asked :

Is there a way to track the entrepreneur.
  then I'd suggest the following:

Using your bookmarks/favorites on your browser, create a "New Folder" , name it something like "KIVALoans 2 Track" or something you like.   

Find the entrepreneur (using what Peter and reb-mar gave you) you'd like to track, and add 'that' bookmark to this folder.

Then, you will be able to click your bookmarks/favorites and go directly to him.

I hope one of these ideas gives you what you need!   Cheesy Cool

Dear Peter, Reb-Mar, & Henry,
Thank you so much for all your help!! I now have a link in my favorites and on my desktop for the person I was trying to find. Do all the really wonderful people in this world end up in KIVA friends?  It seems like it to me.

I am uploading a picture of my mailbox which is covered in snow.  It is "pretty deep" up here!!
THANKS AGAIN EVERYONE!!
  Thank You
Jane

From this Buffalonian snowman Jane, I can relate--although not so bad this winter--awfully bad winds however, and a 92 mile per hour gust two weeks back.

My only solace is that I find a peaceful place where I might be resigned to my depriving loneliness.
