RE: Kiva.
via: Twitter.com
lfeeney @mrflip is kiva the microloan site you used?
mrflip @lfeeney yes, #kiva -- wanna make an AE lending team? http://www.kiva.org/community
zieglerfe @mrflip an AE lending team for Kiva?
via: e-mail
mrflip: yep -- they just started them, I think -- a pool of us go in together on part or all of a loan. You in for $25?
zieglerfe: Definitely, perhaps $25 from each of us (Felicia, Aylen, Senia, and I) = $100! We put $30 (through GOOD Magazine) but would now like to do more.
mrflip: I think we set up a group and each give thru our individual kiva accts. I gotta run, but If I set it up laters, you wanna make the AE post?
zieglerfe: Good. I will post it tonight or tomorrow morning.
mrflip: So -- the lending groups thing is a big hit, and apparently all but four projects are funded. Usually there are several dozen.
So, members of Alkaline Earth, who is in?
So far:
1. mrflip
2. zieglerfe
3. Felicia
4. Aylen
5. Senia
Done. Now what?
Now Senia and Aylen pick a recipient and the rest of us pile on.
Is anything happening with this?
Senia and Aylen picked 4 recipents.
I figured that as teammates, you would have received a notification. I guess not, my apologies.

Between starting and finishing this note, the last loan was distributed; this has happened at least once in my experience and they restocked fairly soon. Perhaps by the time we get commitments in order there'll be someone to loan to.
