why I made my latest loan

Well, I just made my loan for May. 

This time I chose a man in Azerbaijan.

I didn't already have any loans in Azerbaijan (even though it is trendy  ) so that wasn't the reason I chose this fellow. 

This time the choice was clear .... here is a fellow who wants some money so he can buy ten sheep:

I like sheep. 

and with sheep, one needs a border collie.

I love border collies.

I used to own a border collie named Jewel.

She didn't herd sheep.  She was deaf ... and eventually, blind too ... but she would have liked a nice little group of ten sheep 

so, in memory of Jewel .... I helped this guy get his sheep.

Maybe with his next loan, he'll want a puppy

um, patti......  I hate to break this to you, but, um..... the dog in your pic is decidedly NOT a border collie.  You should ask for your money back and loan it instead to someone who hunts birds.

Ben!  Are you reading this??  Michael is right, I need Kiva to post a loan for a duck hunter!

 

Oh, and on a (semi) serious note, I forwarded my last post on to an email list devoted to border collie lovers ...... some of them have already made loans !!!
