I loan because:
I can think of few other things as meaningful as making these loans. The pictures and stories draw me in, enrich my life, and open my eyes. . . . except now that Kiva is cropping the pictures of the borrowers on the lenders' pages (see below), my enthusiasm for Kiva has waned. In fact, all thumbnails that are not squares have been cropped, including those of the teams (see below) and of the lenders on the borrowers' and team pages. This has all dimmed my enthusiasm because pictures have always been at the heart of Kiva, for me. So, you might say I'm now lending (if at all) under duress.
