Great job setting up the store Simon and thanks to all the purchasers. $75 is quite a handsome sum and will go to a good cause. In my opinion giving the vouchers away recognizing people's contributions toward the project is a good idea. There was an earlier discussion about having to *control* that people receiving such a voucher must lend it first before withdrawing it from Kiva. In my opinion we should just trust people and not be to concerned. Alex
