You have been missed.  Welcome back!

Kivafriends.org scrambled and respelled is "Risk And Forgive."  Of course, it also can be respelled "Asked For Virgin" and "Darer of Vikings" and even "Vinegar For Kids" but those are a lot less interesting.

Thanks Michael!

We are actually planning, rather quietly, a pullout of all of our money from all other P2P projects so we can put it into Kiva. The credit market is just too shaky right now and consumer debt is sky-high, so all we are really doing is helping people spin their credit wheels and perhaps even giving them a chance to do more harm than good to their lives here in the States. Besides, I've always liked the liquidity factor in Kiva where one can put in $25 here and there and know it will come back in a couple of months vs. a couple of years. We are excited about some of the things Kiva will be bringing before lenders later this year including quicker turnaround on money into and out of the system and perhaps a better interface. Kiss

Cheers,
Jeff (& Heather)

I'm now seeking stories/testimonies for our blog... I'm looking for Kiva lenders who have a good 'why I love Kiva' story to share with others or perhaps interesting thoughts/perspectives on micro lending in general. Email me if you are interested and we can bat around the format, etc you have in your head.

Thanks,
Jeff
