"Right now there is a 'free trial' offer that lets people join Kiva and make a $25 loan without it costing them anything. The founder of LinkedIn is currently sponsoring free $25 trial loans by new users. When I checked a moment ago there were still 9,000 free loans available. Details are on http://genfamilies.blogspot.com.au/2012/03/free-trial-new-kiva-users-get-free-25.html."
Genealogists for Families allows you to make small loans to businesses starting up around the world through the Kiva platform - when a loan is repaid you can claim the money back or reinvest to another worthy cause. Please do consider signing up!

Thanks for spreading the word, Chris. I've noticed a few British family historians joining Kiva during this 'free trial' period, and some have also joined our team. I wonder whether any chose a particular borrower for reasons as interesting as yours.
