Hey simba,

look at Robert's portfolio: Many loans with ZERO US involvement...  Cheesy

But I also am on the lookout for loans with few US-Amercians on it. So thanks for opening this thread!

Sorry, Richard,

I didn't mean to be rude...  Embarrassed It's just, that you guys are SO dominating Kiva, it's high time that the rest of the world show, that we're here to do it, too. That's why a 100% non-American loan funding would be nice...  Roll Eyes

Those numbers are "viewers."  Maybe we're just more active "doers"!  Travolta  Laugh

Henry, to make you understand:

100% (total of viewers)  - 48.8% (American viewers) = 51.2% (non-US viewers)

That makes you less than half the amount of viewers and therefore, technically speaking, a minority. But a very strong minority indeed! And certainly a majority if you subdivide "the rest of the world" into its pieces.

Oli

I'm the Explainor here!  Laugh
