[...] on February 3, 2010 by thekoolaidmom As I mentioned a couple weeks ago, I was really inspired by Dawn’s post about Kiva. I was signed up, but wanted to loan to someone in Vietnam and none were available at that [...]

I’ll have to keep this in mind once my finances improve. I think its a wonderful thing. Wonder if there are any tax implications?

Ti – thanks for the book recommendation!

Margot and Kool-Aid Mom – Yay! Thanks for helping to spread info about Kiva. I wish there was a “waitlist” where we could be notified when certain sectors were looking for funding. I keep checking for an entrepreneur in the education sector, but haven’t connected with any yet.

Serena – yes, I keep rolling the funds over. I don’t have a lot invested, but it’s very cool to know that this small amount can help many people.

I really loved this, and went over to Kiva to sign up. I’m waiting for just the right loan opportunity, and am excited to get the chance to help

By the way, you’re The Kool-Aid Flavor of the Week Thanks for the inspiration!

I’m with Margot. I had the best intentions and then time passed me by without doing anything about it. I love this as a gift! Thanks for posting about it again.

This is an amazing way to support others who want to go into business for themselves but can’t gather the funds, and I am thinking that it would be really great to donate to the cause. Thanks for posting this, it seems like a really great idea!

My mom often gets my nieces and nephews lessons, like ice skating, gymnastics, soccer, etc.

I’m so glad you posted about Kiva again. I told myself to do something three months ago and then I forgot where I saw it. Now, here it is again and I’m not going to let it get away from me. A wonderful way to give. Kudos to you for teaching your children the value of giving to others. Good luck on winning the contest.
