Loan was originally scheduled to take two months, but took more than a year to pay off. I admire Jacklyne's commitment to make small regular payments as well as her comments explaining her situation.

Hello Lenders,
Talked to my Mentee Jackie. She regrets the inconvenience, but assured me that she's working on clearing her arrears.

Hi, Jacklyne.

I hadn't ever heard the word "vitenge" before, so I looked it up and found this: "...Wikipedia - kitenges (plural: vitenge in Swahili; zitenge in Tonga) serve as an... informal piece of clothing that is often decorated with a huge variety of colors..." Of course, I realized it from the photo you posted of brightly colored fabric, but I didn't know the words "kitenges" (singular) or "vitenge" (plural), before. Now, I do, and thought I'd post for any others here on the platform who also didn't know, before.

Good luck with your business, and best wishes! :)
