be the tooth fairy
And just whose idea...

Fund 43 microloans through Kiva.org (read all 7 entries…)
I think I can finally check this one off

I funded more than 43 loans total, but then a few of them were refunded for clerical errors, or declared paid in full by the partner because of other issues, etc. I wanted to wait until I was sure that 43 people had actually benefited from my loans before I checked this off, and now I think it’s finally safe to say that this has been achieved.



Stay motivated and follow through on my commitments (read all 10 entries…)
And I thought...
