We did it! Thanks to everyone that has got on board with this thread and joined Kiva or where already members. It's quite phenomenal the flow on effect that just this thread has had, I'm very inspired by the support it's received and everyones generosity 

Anyone who's not aware, when we made our Community Spirit team on Kiva there was an option to set a goal. It was a bit of a spontaneous decision but I put down 100 loans in one year. Since then our small team of 5 has grown to 13 and we've reached our goal in 9 months. 

Are you keen for a new goal? I thought we could aim for 200 in 12 months? Any suggestions?

Well obviously it has to be 300 loans by then end of the 2nd year 

I think the Kiva loans are a great idea. How do I apply for one?

I don't think we have any field partners in Australia Amethyst so you will have to go to the bank along with the rest of us 

It has surprised me to see some of the borrowers have been from the US.

Welcome madam to our small but humble group.

Careful it can be a little addictive, but fun to see the different people in need and directly help them.

cosmos, are you thinking another 100 to make 200 in total or another 200 to make 300 in total for 12 months?

Madammuck, I missed your post back there.  Welcome aboard, I'm glad you've joined us 

Kopenhagen, I'm thinking up the ante and make it up to 300 in the next 12 months. We need the challenge 🙂

Yes, sounds good. With others perhaps joining in, it should be achievable.

In fact if we say 300 at the 2 year anniversary of Community Spirit kiva group, very achievable.
