Hi, I have been a lender for several months now, but this is my first post. I have an idea to help spread the word about Kiva. It grew out of a question at a trivia game where we were asked what college sweatshirt a character on a TV show wore. It made me think that if even one character on a popular TV show (or any TV show) wore a Kiva shirt or drank from a Kiva mug, it would be great publicity. Maybe this idea has been suggested or is too far-fetched, but I thought someone out there might know someone in the TV (or movie) industry who could make this happen. Thanks Kiva, for brightening my life by letting me be a part of such a good thing.

Any actor/lenders out there, willing to help? Anyone working in "props" with a TV studio? Lorna |

nice link Richard ---  interesting to note that I didn't see Oprah's name listed even though many of us got our start watching her show last year... I linked to Oprah and found the list of her causes and Kiva IS NOT THERE - sigh... Welcome Lynn - great idea - I'd wear the t-shirt - if I had one - even tho no-one knows me   jan |

Wow, a "Kiva Stars" list. Thanks Richard and to Lorna too for the call for props people. Jan, I wear my "Wanna' Help Buy a Goat?" shirt and get lots of inquiries about Kiva from total strangers.

Maroon 5 is on the list and was on that American Idol show a few nights back--anyone ever hear of that?  Anyways, imagine giving millions of viewers immediate access and awareness to Kiva with a Kiva sticker on the guitar or the singer wearing a Kiva shirt. Also I work all over my county 5 days a week and come into contact with hundreds of people daily, if not thousands during a given week--our attire must be presentable so I cant wear the Kiva t-shirts, but it would be nice to slap a decent sized Kiva logo on my back somewhere--Id receive inquiries all the time if that were the case. |

I find not direction in the readings of those with whom my eccentricities are similar, but rather validation.
My only solace is that I find a peaceful place where I might be resigned to my depriving loneliness.

Get me a shirt to Botswana and I will wear it constantly...chances are high I'll make it to national telly...  See: On a serious note: I think that is a great idea. I would suggest approaching someone at a rather "young" station: MTV or something like that. They're announcers might be much more willing to wear a Kiva shirt than the traditional TV-show hosts... |

Thanx, Lynn - just when I decided to rein in my impulse lending - now you've got me impulse shopping I expect our t-shirts (and mugs and shopping bag) to arrive around the end of the month (unless Canada Customs decides otherwise)... jan |

Jan, so glad to lead you astray for such a good purpose. I just wish I could deduct my T-shirts, bag, my husband's cap and golf shirt, etc. for tax purposes here in the US under charitable giving (advertising), but I don't think that one would fly. Enjoy your new stuff--hope you get lots of inquiries about Kiva!
