Is anyone else going to take part?

I think it is a great idea. But I cannot go with you all. Once I have $25 back in paypal I will. ONly $18 at the moment

Ok, guys, it's been 1 1/2 h since we started our group funding, I'm going to release the contribution I held from general public and do my own US$25 contribution.

We had 7 people joining our group effort, and hopefully a few more join us in the next hours, as the remaining quotas may take a while to fill up. If they're all taken, and you still feel motivated, take perhaps our second choice, the Peruvian lady, or any other person you may choose to help.

Thanks to all participants, and I hope we can do this again next month!

Regards,
Adelaide

Guys,

Our Peruvian lady had just one quota filled yet. So if anyone is willing to start a loan, check her:

I missed out on the fundraising event last month, but don't worry...I'm still doing my part.

I received the first part of my tax refund, and the very first thing I did before anything else was lend $225 to some great people. I also gave an additional $100 to my kids for them lend as well, and am giving a Kiva gift certificate to my niece for her 18th birthday on Monday.

One of my guys in Mexico needs our help. Michel is requesting a loan of $1200 to be repaid in 12 months for construction on his home, but since April 24 only five people have lent him any money. Total loaned so far -- $125 in 8 days.

So...is anyone up for another fundraiser this month to help Michel?

Everyone must be busy today.

Nothing has changed with Michel's loan since I wrote earlier today, so I'm sure if anyone wants to help there is still plenty of time. :-)

Your link doesn't work correctly, so maybe that has something to do with it? (though it was easy enough to figure out what was wrong)

Karimala · « **Reply #83 on:** May 03, 2008, 00:37 »

Thanks! Got it fixed.

madelaide · « **Reply #84 on:** May 03, 2008, 11:31 »

Karimala,

I have lent too much last month 10 loans, I think), but if people decide to make a group loan again, you can count on me.

Anyway, there was a discussion about his in their forum, and people say no request had yet been unfunded. Some people in fact choose older requests when picking someone.

Regards,
Adelaide

Hi everyone. I will have my first Kiva loan fully paid by the end of this month. Is there anyone interested in doing another group loan?

Regards,
Adelaide

digiology · « **Reply #86 on:** June 19, 2008, 19:51 »

count me in

leaf · « **Reply #87 on:** June 21, 2008, 05:53 »

sure.

madelaide · « **Reply #88 on:** June 27, 2008, 19:24 »

Anyone else? My payback is due in a couple of days.

Adelaide

Ok, guys, this is the request I picked, a group from Bolivia led by a lady named Adelayda. She must be a very nice person.

http://www.kiva.org/app.php?page=businesses&action=about&id=53177

Still US$375 are required, and I hope others here can help. It's a short-term loan (4mo) so quickly the money will be abailable for another loan, or for withdrawal if you prefer.

Regards,
Adelaide

leaf · « **Reply #90 on:** June 29, 2008, 01:38 »

got it.

Karimala · « **Reply #91 on:** June 29, 2008, 10:50 »

No can do this round.

The first week of the month is best for me.

madelaide · « **Reply #92 on:** June 29, 2008, 17:43 »

I might do one more loan in July, and maybe we can do like in the first time, "meeting" at a pre-set time to make a loan together. I just could not resist lending to Adelayda's group.

Regards,
Adelaide

Hi again,

What about arranging next Monday for a group loan?

There has been some loan requests from Lebanon, some of which from groups of women. If nobody has an issue about lending to Lebanese people, that could be a good choice, with loan terms ranging from 4 to 6 months.

My second option would be loans to Cambodja or Vietnam, but these are normally very long term loans (12-18 months).

Regards,
Adelaide

madelaide · « **Reply #94 on:** July 12, 2008, 15:26 »

Once again... What about next Monday at 10pm GMT? I'll try to be online, if my PC lets me (it's behaving oddly again).

Regards,
Adelaide

digiology · « **Reply #95 on:** July 12, 2008, 20:43 »

Yes! I will do it this time.

madelaide · « **Reply #96 on:** July 13, 2008, 19:41 »

I hope others join us tomorrow. And I hope I am online tomorrow!

Regards,
Adelaide

What about lending to freddie and fannie mac (in the US), they need it more. $:-\$

madelaide · « **Reply #98 on:** July 14, 2008, 16:52 »

yingyang, who are they?

I'm on Kiva now, searching a loan requestor.

Regards,
Adelaide

digiology · « **Reply #99 on:** July 14, 2008, 17:08 »

I think they are the major mortgage lenders in the US. Tough times...lots of people losing their homes.

I have often thought that it would be nice though to spread out and support more than just KIVA.
