There is such a wonderful response to Joan's family's request for people to pay tribute to her by supporting Kiva, that (as project coordinator and team captain) I am being kept very busy with administrative tasks due to all the new members.

Perhaps more of Joan's friends would like to do the same. There are two options:<br /><br />(1) Make an ordinary loan and (in your blog post) explain that it is in memory of Joan. This is what our team calls a 'commemorative loan'. Repayments will go to you so that you can re-lend the money over and over again.<br /><br />(2) Alternatively you can make what Kiva calls a 'dedicated loan'. During the checkout process, in 'My Basket', select the option 'Dedicate this loan' (but note that with a Dedicated Loan the repayments will be donated to Kiva instead of being returned to you).Judy Websterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09730547717403140047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-128036568960879479.post-18553747576884647492013-01-07T10:31:47.822+10:002013-01-07T10:31:47.822+10:00I will be making a commemorative loan in Joan'...I will be making a commemorative loan in Joan's honor.
