I'm pleased to see so many of our relatives, friends and colleagues joining Kiva during the free trials. After this opportunity to find out how micro-lending works, I'm sure they will be as enthusiastic as we are. Right now there are still 9,000 free loans available, so I hope some of your readers will join Kiva (and, optionally, join our lending team).
