  Hi David. That's great news that business is 'moving' again in Embu County. It also looks like you're well and truly on track with your loan repayments again. Thanks again for your time when I was in Embu. Lisbeth

I briefly met with David when I was in Embu a fortnight ago as he kindly took some time away from his banking job to have a quick chat with me and update me on his businesses as follows:
* Following the theft at his phone shop David eventually decided to close the shop and he sold his remaining stock.
* David’s hotel (restaurant) has suffered a bit of a short term lull in business due to the winter weather but he expects this will pick up again soon.
* The adjacent bar is doing well, especially with so many people going out to watch the World Cup football matches, but he’s hoping things will soon improve further as he has applied for a licence for extended operating hours.
David clearly has a good business mind and we spoke about some of the economic issues in Embu County that are affecting all businesses, including David’s, and the ideas he has to overcome these issues.
He’s very committed to repaying his current loan and working with Zidisha in the future so we also spoke about the importance of keeping lenders informing during both good and difficult times and rescheduling his loan if he has any further setbacks.
Most importantly, David, his wife and their young son are all well.
