just_the_things73. Get to 50 loans made on Kiva.org
I made my last two loans today for this goal! I had intended to wait until I had enough repayment credit, but I just got my tax refund and was able to pay off bills and thought I'd celebrate my fortune by donating some of what was leftover at the end of the day.
I found two loans in countries I hadn't loaned in before, both of which had special doubling promotions (what I loaned was doubled by outside groups). Both countries are near where I was born, also.
So I loaned to Faamoa in Samoa because the description reminded me of my dad and grandfather (who was in printing).

And I loaned to Silvina in Timor-Leste because her shawls pictured are beautiful and I don't lend to enough artisans.

I donated a little bit to Kiva as well.
Excluding the 2 loans that weren't funded so the money was returned, I now have 50 loans in 48 countries around the world. That's a lot of good my $300-something has done :-)
