Anybody else here on KIVA.org?

I started loaning about 3 months ago, have now done 18 loans to 13 different countries, split evenly between women and men.

I find it absolutely addictive and is, in fact, a forced method of saving for myself (minus perhaps a 2% overall cost).
At least the government (nor anyone else) can touch it here.

I attribute my loans to two groups: either 'Atheists', and/or the Kiva Flash Mob (we come in at set times, pick a loan with near-zero $ against it, and 'MOB' it for 5 minutes so it gets some momentum. Works really well, though we only have 80-odd members in the group so far).

Anyone else doing it?

Never heard of it but checked it out. Very cool.
Atheists? Enough with all the ration and logic!

I'm part of the Nerdfighter group and I think Sid has done some Kiva stuff in the past!!
