    Dear lenders,
    This is Analin Saturria McGregor with Zidisha's Communications team.
    Our Volunteer Mentor in Malindi recently spoke with George. It's been about three weeks since his mother passed away. After the traditional memorial services and the slowdown in all business activity pending the Kenya general election, George is slowly getting ready to get back on his feet.
    George is committed to stay in touch with us and keep us posted on how he, his family and his business activities are going. We wish him and his family the very best as they move on after this difficult goodbye.
