New one done. Keep going!

3 new loans added. total amount exceeds 25K! great going guys

Wahoo!

This could use a bump! My mom got me a Kiva gift card for my birthday (so much easier than saying 'I don't really want anything') and I had some money come back from completed loans.

So - another 10 loans made in online poker's name!

New loan today. To a lady to buy spices to sell.

My spice lady one fell through, didn't get fully funded in time.

Oh well. Shipped the $$ to a charcoal lady instead.

Bump, just signed up and made a few initial loans. Been meaning to do this for a while - thanks for the nudge!

Nice one! welcome to the team.

Make sure you've set it up correctly in the settings on the site to assign your loans to BI2Giving as the group.

If you haven't done that already it's easy enough to get their admins to assign the loans you've already made to our group. you can just drop them a note.

great to see you make loans as well swrittenb, welcome!

made 5 new loans, 1 to a tanzanian clothes reseller and 4 farmers in the philippines.

Only seen and heard of this now, what a great idea, the best part is most of these loans are to finance investments and increase production rather than consumption, which is great for development and growth.

I'm also a registered kiva member and made a few loans, didn't know that there was something like a kiva team on DC.
How does it work with getting into the team?

login into Kiva then go to community
you can search for the team: Buy-In to Giving
There you can join the team and from then on your loans count towards the loans provided by Buy-In to Giving team.
