Thank you for sharing this with us. For me this is just another payment of dividend to me as a Kiva lender - seeing what happens out in the field. That you also is a three times Kiva fellow is worthy a big bow and hurrah for your involvement. I believe stories like this is what we need as they bring us closer and fonder of each other.

I love the gift certificate as a parting thank you gesture and the Maxima's staff subsequent choice of a US borrower. Thank you for sharing. I look for more news from the front. -Megan Fantastic post. I love the gift certificate as a parting thank you gesture and the Maxima’s staff subsequent choice of a US borrower.

Kiva USA has stirred many different viewpoints amongst the lenders at KivaFriends. It's nice to see how it was taken on the other side of the world. It's also a perfect example of why we don't like the 'templates' being introduced in the name of efficiency. Their choice of who to lend to was made from a personal connection that was made when they read the profile of Amato. I will point KF people in your direction :) jan That’s an exciting blog entry, John. Kiva USA has stirred many different viewpoints amongst the lenders at KivaFriends.
