Anyone work with Kiva?
Heard about this site yesterday. I am thinking of participating with this site and wondered if anyone has any real experience, good or bad, with them?

Re: Anyone work with Kiva?
no i did research them before, but i came in contact with some african refugees through paltalk and decided to help them directly. i just think kiva is doing god's work. i don't believe investments are guaranteed, but there is a high percentage of recovery, from what i've read.

One question if you're still up...are there people honestly looking for conversation there, or is it like chatroulette and omegle, hormone driven teenagers looking to pass the time with a woman?

Well, Paltalk is blocked here at work so I have to guess that it's purpose could be along those lines.

Re: Anyone work with Kiva?
I love Kiva! I've done it for a few years now and never had a loan default. I'm a huge believer and advocate of micro finance.

Sherri does either this or something just like it - - she's had wonderful things to say about it!
