    I made 8 loans so far. There was only one late-loaner lend left and I spread the others on all the continents with Kiva loans. Hopefully will add more once the $500K mark is reached!

    Did anyone notice the total loans before the bomb started?
    I forgot to check.

    I just made my little contribution to the money bomb. I loaned to a woman in the USA who runs a child care centre. I've been fortunate to visit the USA many times but this is my first Kiva loan to an American.

    The addiction has definitely set in already!

    Now, if I can just figure out how to guarantee an upgrade to Hong Kong next month......

    I pulled up the kiva team page and was blown away - #1 for all teams! I'm not sure if this is the norm or not, but I'm very impressed. Good job, team.

    Out of sheer curiosity, I just did a quick calculation of our progress up to date = $48,200 in loans raised !!!!!!

    And there is still more than 24 hours left in the campaign.

    Awesome. :cool:

    $48,200 may just be the warm-up for the real thing ;)

    That must be the understatement of the year, horseguy.
    Thank you for setting up and organising this money bomb - we have made an enormous impact in all areas; number of loans, total loans, new members - and most important: There are no late loans left unfunded, and we are supporting a huge number of people around the world.

    yea, a great period of time for this team. Amazing how long one day actually is around the world and many thanks to those who have passed the bomb this way. We're just waking up here in the U.S. and ready to loan forward. Is there anything this team can't do?

    We have raised $100 000 since the Money Bomb began! What is also great is the F0fBH and LLLs who have come on board to make this an extraordinary event! Its been a brilliant event and thanks to Horseguy for setting up the Money Bomb!

    Just made a donation today to support The Money Bomb! My Kiva account was pretty much depleted recently when I made several loans but I refreshed it this morning. :)

    I considered the same trip to Sydney as I was afraid no short term loans would be left by now (8am NYC time)

    But I fell asleep before lending last night so threw my two new loans now. Even picked up a new for me country in the process.

    Sorry it is not more, but it is what I can do right now. Great work by the whole team and welcome to all the new members who dropped by from other teams to participate. I am sure the favor will be returned when your teams do this.
