The ABC's of KIVA

Here's a game we can play.  Here are the Rules

The ABC's of KIVA

1.  only one 'is for' per letter to keep the alphabet in smooth motion, it will repeat so don't worry if you don't get to post on a letter you like.

2.  you must follow the order of the alphabet (American), at the end (Z) start over with the (A)  If you go to post something, and you get the red warning:  Someone has already posted you may want to read it, then you took too long, next letter !

3.  No discussion, just type the LETTER and two words followed by what you come up with EX:  "K is for Kivan",  and on the next line, the definition of how you mean the words use.

4.  only one post person - consecutively.

5.  no fancy smileys, font's, sizes, etc.  (Henry says..HUH!?)   OK

6.  Diane or Joe will edit or change or banish you from reality if someone doesn't follow the rules!   

This will end up looking something like this:

A is for #######
B is for ##########
C is for #####
etc.
Z is for ####
A is for ###### (ROUND TWO WILL BE THE ABC's OF KIVAFRIENDS)  so let's get this done fast!

Can we do it?   Here we go, I'll start.

Best to read this from Old to New Setting or fast scroll to the bottom, then up.

ENJOY THE FOLLOWING

KIVA ALPABET!

A is for Advance
    Advance - as in 'to loan'

[Jill]

B is for Borrow
           Borrow- as in..that's what the Entrepreneurs need to do..... this time. 
(Maybe next time, they'll be the Lenders, and we Lenders will have to BORROW).

        or, maybe BORROW is what we Lenders will have to do
        after we max out all our credit cards, write fraudulent checks to have more money to Lend,
        get busted for the felony of Writing Checks with Insufficient Funds,
        and we need money to Post Bail to stay out of jail.

C is for cycle as in Kiva Loan Cycle
Queen

[Henry]

D is for Duration
   as in the time for the loan to be repaid

[Sarah G]

E is for everyone
   as in who can make a difference with a Kiva loan!

[wind5001]

F is for Fertile
        as in: the money spent on Kiva is fertile for a specific person (and as opposed to futile)

[Henry]

G is for Good
  as in Good deeds, Good Feeling and a whole lot more.

H is for Horizontal growth

growth based on replicating a standardized retail model in new geographic areas. Although horizontal growth has been the norm for MFIs, simple horizontal expansion can make it difficult to quickly introduce new products or changes to products.

Huh?

Horizontal Growth - What I've been achieving ever since I stopped Vertical Growth.
