The kiva.org site is really interesting, I definatly, might do something like this for my sister, who I think would really like this gift. Thanks for the info CMAR.

I bought my wife a $200 gift certificate. I'll also get her something small and wrapable and put the the gift cert in a card or something. Quick and easy to do and I know she's gonna love it (if anything, it's gonna be tough for her to narrow it down to 8 loans).

I also posted in OOT where it's spawned a bit of a thread, including a post from a guy who's already been involved with Kiva and been paid back:

NL100 games seem really horrible right now.

I usually take Mondays off because they tend to suck.

Yes, you just print out the gift certificate on your own printer. Actually mailing stuff out would cost them money so they don't do it. It's really just about the gift code number. You don't even have to give them the gift certificate, just the code number. You could even design your own gift certificate if you wanted.

It's like when Stars had Amazon.com gift cards in the VIP store. There was no actual card, they just gave you the number.

The person you give it to just types the code number into the redeem page and they're good to go (obv they have to setup their own Kiva account).

So, you could do it the night before if you wanted.

Sample gift certificate is here:

Good luck, make some $$.

On a totally unrelated note, today I had a pretty interesting day.

I stayed up all night w/ my roomates drinking, smoking, and playing a session. So I decide at liek 9am this morning, that I'm going to go to the bank get some cashflow and just go play a live poekr session at our local casino. Bank is closed observing veterans day (thought veterans day was sunday, oh well). I decide [censored] it, might as well go to class. Get to class, quickly fall asleep in chair. Wake up 4 hours later, in a class I don't belong too. I slept through my lecture, and 2 or 3 more lectures after mine, all uninterrupted. Suprised no one woke me. I excuse myself from this lecture and walk home, I have no clue its 4:30pm until I'm back at my house. Fun day. I'll prolly blackout tonight midsession.
