How I did it
It made me 
How I did it: just kept doing it regularly for a couple years, and they added up.... =)best to do it with daily regularity... you have more cheers if you cheer regularly and people return some fraction of them, so at some points i would have upwards of ten cheers to hand out each day, and that really helps spread them around and add up... Read how I did it…

i luv giving kiva loans...

october done...
12 months ago
this is actually turning out to be easy—as loans are paid back month by month, the amount of new funds i need to add to make the new loan are decreasing…

i really find the whole process rewarding… highly recommended…
