 Sad House repairs, clothing sales and shoe sales for the most part.  I'm waiting for something more interesting.

Me too.  I put in some random ID numbers and see some "to be started someday" loans that I'd like to participate in, but I guess I just have to keep refreshing that screen until they're opened for business.  Smiley

It seems... House Repairs aren't a favorite for us. ALSO...  when I see 3 or 4 loans with the same background and different people in the photo requesting a loan, I hesitate on that one also.  Probably shouldn't...but just do.

When I see that, I figure that the photos were taken at the MFI loan office, where the clients came to sign paperwork or receive training or counseling.  Rather than follow them back to their home or business location, someone just asked them to step outside for a photograph. But yeah, it doesn't actually give lenders a sense of what the client's business might be about. You just have to hope in those cases that the person who wrote up the description did a good job.

Spent my KIVA money to get into Second Life

Emailed E-Rewards to see if they could make one of their 'rewards' KIVA Gift Certificates.  Probably not how that works... but it would be great if they did.  http://www.e-rewards.com/home.do

I've not been here long, but it seems that the length of the loans has increased in the past few days. Paid back over 28 months? That was a first. Maybe it's just the group of loans or MFIs that are on now.

I like this "topic" - random thoughts on the world of Kiva.
