OT: KIVA...I've wanted to get started in this. A SVP at a small ticket leasing company I worked with retired young to work for a group like this. EKS, do you find that groups pay back better than individuals?

kiva. I joined kiva and told a few friends about it, and i included this clipping: "They don't get interest, but rather the satisfaction of seeing the money returned as the business repay the loans." one sent me this reply :o)

I'm doing the no interest thing with my bank account, but I'm not
getting much satisfaction.

"I tend to prefer to invest with older women who raise poultry. They always pay back their loans!"
