You can make a custom wall calendar... and... and ... from Kiva's "stuff" supplier, Cafepress.com.

    Thanks, Richard, for the Cafe Press idea, but.....
       What I had in mind, actually, when I brought up the idea, just now,
in the Best Smiles thread,
http://www.kivafriends.org/index.php/topic,515.100.html
was for a mass production of those Kiva Calendars
where all profits would go to Kiva
and....

where, in the hanging of each calendar in (tens of) thousands of homes around the world,
it'd be like THE MOST PERFECT ADVERTISING FOR KIVA
in that every visitor to every home that had one hanging
couldn't help but be drawn to the Lovely Lovely Pictures of Kiva Entrepreneurs,
couldn't help but want to know more, more, more about Kiva,
and ultimately, (many of those visitors to Kiva Calendar-Hanging Homes)
would become Kiva Lenders, Kiva Friends, and Kiva Champions, themselves.

EDIT:  That's why I asked and
         Why I'm still asking
         Whether anyone knows anyone
         Who could produce a Kiva Best Smiles Entrepreneurs Calendar
         in Mass Production,
         With all the Capital, Know-How, Marketing Expertise, Contacts, Etc.
         That would enhance its probablilities of success, availability, and
         The Widest Distribution possible.

Jill, I got your intent.  Someone probably would have to contact them/Kiva/? for a "big order."

     Just now read that Luciano Pavarotti,
 ".... who worked as a primary school gym teacher and insurance salesman before chancing his luck in the world of music....,"
is close to dying.
    For the terrific pleasure and joy he gave to so very many of us,
it just seemed right to take a moment to think,
"Thank you, Luciano Pavarotti",
and to wish him peace.

Jill,

as regards the calenders: I think the guy from Cafe Press is a Kivafriend also. His name is chris. Why don't you suggest to him to develop a draft to offer for Kiva to sell on its Website. I guess he's the best suited guy to get this going. You could talk about the details of suggesting photos through Kivafriends (maybe even have a poll on what photos should be in) etc.
