Buongiorno!
Sono in Canada - non l'Italia - ma ci sono KIVAFRIENDS canadesi e tedeschi etc. che si sono chiesti come si puo aituare kIVA in altri paesi. E una questione difficile perche in America la cosa si e sviluppata molto velocemente quando Bill Clinton et Oprah ne hanno parlato. Hai amici che sono "megastars"  Laugh

In any case, it's nice to have you on board!

Molti italiani non conoscono l'inglese e non sono abituati ad usare la carta di credito per pagamenti online.
Quando invio una mail inserisco sempre un footer con lo slogan di Kiva e sto regalando dei gift certificate per allargare il numero di persone che conoscono Kiva.

ATTENTION KIVAFRIENDS - ENGLISH TRANSLATION FOLLOWS BELOW:

Ciao Gianni,
Anch'io utilizzo (come molti KIVAfRIENDS) gift certificates e credo che sia un buon metodo - come dici - di far concoscere KIVA.
Altri KIVAFRIENDS hanno gia discusso l'idea di creare dei sites KIVA in altre lingue (ci sono KIVAFRIENDS che parlano tedesco etc.) ma per il momento sarebbe troppo complicato per KIVA.org.
Mi sembra che potrebe essere interessante di preparare magari delle brevi spiegazioni in altre lingue come l'italiano, ma anche il francese, lo spagnolo etc. Potremmo "publicarle" su KIVAPEDIA.

 Laugh
Note: Gianni originally posted in English but answered my Italian message so everyone feel free to continue in English  Grin

Gianni GG Baron was looking for ideas on how to spread KIVA in Italy and mentioned that "many Italians don't know English and aren't used to using credit cards online. He mentioned that he's using a kIVa footer in his emails and also giving out gift certificates so as to spread the word about KIVA.
I answered that I also used gift certificates and I've found it useful to spread the word.
Also, other KivaFriends have mentioned the idea of having the KIVA site available in other languages (and that many KivaFriends do speak other languages) but that for the moment it's too much for kIva.org to handle.
I also mentioned that it might be interesting to prepare a brief introduction to KIVA in other languages and perhaps post it at KIVAPEDIA.

Gianni - thank you for letting me practice my Italian  Party

Someone did in fact gather introductions to Kiva translated into a wide variety of languages...I think it might have been Julia, but I really cannot recall with certainty.  I also dont remember if Italian was one of the included languages...a lot of help I am--but I know its out there at least.

(Or Evelyn, were you inferring that this info is already up and accessible on Kivapedia?--sorry, just trying to be helpful  Undecided)

Edit:  Found it:

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.

Hello Gianni and everyone,

From yesterday www.vivakiva.org, an Italian website of Kiva supporters, is online: this is how me and orders Italian Kiva Lenders are trying to promote Kiva in Italy.
This website is aimed to give some information about Kiva and microfinance, for people who don’t lend because don’t know what is all about, or, more simply, because don't speak English.

www.vivakiva.org cointaines many links to the dynamic sections of www.kiva.org (e.s. Lend page), and these pages are automatically translated using Google Translate.

This website is a “work in progress”, it is surely possible to improve it, so feel free to give us help and suggestions.

Putting the website online is only the first step, because the website need to be promoted and animated.

Pass the word, please!  Smiley

Laura


Ciao a Gianni e a tutti,

da ieri è online www.vivakiva.org, sito italiano di supporto a Kiva. Questo è il contributo che io ed alcuni altri Lenders italiani di Kiva stiamo dando alla diffusione di Kiva in Italia.

Si tratta di un sito informativo su Kiva e sul microcredito, che ha come obiettivo quello di avvicinare a questi temi quanti non lo fanno per mancanza di informazioni o magari solo per scarsa familiarità con la lingua inglese. Contiene vari link a kiva.org, nelle sezioni dinamiche, che vengono tradotte in automatico con Google Translate.
Ovviamente il sito è un work in progress, sicuramente migliorabile, per cui si accettano aiuti e suggerimenti.

La pubblicazione del sito è un punto di partenza, il lavoro non è finito qui perché va promosso e mantenuto vivo nel tempo.

Ovviamente... PASSAPAROLA!!!

Hi Laura,
Although I do not speak Italian, I can still see that the site contains alot of information for our Italian lenders.  What a great job you have done so far.  Please keep up the good work and let us know how it is progressing.
