Update - $4,650 loaned to date!

Also, I've decided instead of trying to keep track of all the loans throughout the month, I'm going to do it differently. At the end of the month, I'll ask everyone to email me with the total amount they loaned in order to assign the appropriate number of raffle tickets. If you aren't interested in the raffle, no need to email me. Then I'll randomly select the winner and post in here who won

Email you , do you mean PM you ? il forget unless i do it now

Either works. PM or tecmo@deucescracked.com (both go to the same place).

Not sure why more coaches / members arent getting involved in this ..

To each his own. I have patience Some good stuff going on behind the scenes so I'm not worried.

I did not join the Kiva team for the raffles so I am fine with the random pick up or anything else

If anyone has excellent web design skills and would be willing + has the time to help, let me know.

I got your message, and can help, I'll reply in the morning

Sounds good

www.bi2g.org to check out new logo

nice logo.

I also like the quote by Edmund Burke.

Awesome.

I would have preferred to see a light blue color for BI2G.ORG with a dark blue for the number 2 to show a bit of perspective (option1). Its just much more warmer and lightful compared to the green color imo. The blue colors also match better your website header, the logo red heart color and the gold chip color. Try to imagine your homepage website with the blue colors. I am just giving my personal opinion so it might differ from other people.

Pretty good job regarding the logo. Everything is in there.

I know I haven't donated yet, but i'm gonna for sure, but i'm with 1byone regarding the logo matter, blue is the way to go imo, and I also miss the the 1BI on the top chip. otherwise great work guys.

Thanks guys I actually have a blue version as well and am still contemplating putting the 1 BI or something on the chips. As for the website, that's going to go through some changes so I didnt attempt to match it just yet.

Stay tuned imo!

Just hit $5k loaned as a team!

Great work Tecmo, I think the logo is brilliant! I will donate in the near future. Not sure if I have skills that can add value at this stage, but will pass on any ideas I come up with.

Keep it up.

Thanks Jubinator! Many people helping behind the scenes imo.

Everyone can now check out the website to see updates for our team (thanks to cooper)!

Bump

Made many changes to the website.

Ok everyone, last day of the month! Please email me (tecmo@deucescracked.com) the total amount you loaned this month so I can disseminate the appropriate number of raffle tickets. Then I will post the winner and email you to find out from whom you'd like to receive your free coaching session!

A must-see for this topic is the inspiring TED Talk by Jessica Jackley, co-founder of Kiva:

Jessica Jackley: Poverty, money -- and love

This is a great idea and watching the TED video pretty much closed the deal.
Here's my first loans to qualify for the March raffle...

This is such a great idea. I have volunteered for a micro-finance non profit in past and seen it work first hand. I have already just donated one BI and joined group.

Awesome to have you guys on the team!
