When I have some free time later this week, I will log in to that Kiva account and choose a borrower. It will be a woman, because 'Meet the Team' profiles suggest that most of us would prefer that. I will also choose a <a href="http://www.kiva.org/partners" rel="nofollow">Field Partner</a> with very low delinquency and default rates, and at least a four star risk rating.Judy Websterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09730547717403140047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-128036568960879479.post-52620924139429177862012-02-08T09:53:28.888+10:002012-02-08T09:53:28.888+10:00I agree with all the above comments.

One loan has been made under that name. The criteria were made clear at the start and I think you have spent enough time on it. More importantly let's not lose sight of the end aim which is to help others.Helen V Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16418865928294578567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-128036568960879479.post-41774077578246191852012-02-07T05:42:00.377+10:002012-02-07T05:42:00.377+10:00Thanks for your advice.

Also, try to use random.org to select your number: enter the range of numbers and click generate. I also take a screen capture of my computer screen with the winning number and the date/time in the lower corner so if anyone questions the "randomness" I can show them.geneabloggershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15966231171113773545noreply@blogger.com
