    Kiva - Our New Sponsor

    I know nothing about Kiva. At first I thought it said Kava. I thought Kilts and Kava - what an unusual and intriguing combination!

    Kava is great - tastes like skat - but is like alcohol without the hangover.

    Kiva doesn't even sell kilts. How am I supposed to wear a micro loan?

    Actually Kilts and Kava is not such an unusual combination. The Fijians wear a sulu as their national costume. There are several photos here :http://www.fiji.gov.fj/uploads/Rt_Sukuna.pdf. I'm not certain, but I think the Fijian Army wears the sulu as part of their ceremonial dress uniform.

    While stationed in the Sinai I had the great pleasure of sharing many bowls of Kava with the Fijians.

    It's 'micro' - there's no room for pleats. You'll just have to imagine them.
