For the record, Kiva in SL run 100% by volunteers. So we are in Second Life 'cause we want to be here to play. Kiva is not using any of its resources (including staff time) for this project. So this isn't a Kiva expansion, It's a volunteer, grassroots expansion. We're not sure how effective it will be, we're still working out our SL goals, but so far its a lot of fun. And we love the new office. Hope you all can make the party! Julles Boucher Thanks for posting information about Kiva’s office opening in Second Life.

Thanks for the heads up on the new office party for Kiva. FYI, they have been in SL for quite a while, this is a new office, but not a new presence. Location is Plush Nonprofit Commons 23, 233, 26. If anyone is interested Beth Kantor did an interview with a couple of people who have been working on Kiva's SL presence: http://beth.typepad.com/beths_blog/2007/09/kiva-in-second-.html Hey, Fleep!

Kiva has more lenders than they have projects for right now, so I'm surprised that they're expanding into SL. I wonder why. That’s interesting.
