    Dear lenders/Zidisha
    i have been good and healthy together with my family, it have been a campaign period in our country and it now over... as many know Kenya we had a problem in 2007-2008 when we had general election in our country that occurs once after five years . after that we had a post election violence and many were affected. this time we are lucky that our leaders has show that they have grown and they can exercise their democracy in courts after the election ... many had bee fearing this and the whole month of March the business was paralyzed in many part of the country especially from Naivasha (where we stay) were fearing that this will happen again, ... atleast now since we have a president elect things are getting back to normal.
    I have been working with institution installing software and networking to their newly office i have invested to this and It happened that my clients have paid me with check and i had no liquid cash at the moment .. kindly bear with me i will pay my monthly installment before Wednesday next week, since i have a deposited my check this afternoon ...

    Thanks
    James Ngugi

    Dear Lenders i once again thank you for making me get the right tool for the right job without hassle, after i received my loan i shopped for an Epson Printer that is eligible to print PVC card and from the attachment you can see what i have done for today, PCEA are one among my business associates who we have been together for sometimes now, and i have managed to get order from the institution for about 250 PVC cards something that they are going to issue each person who drive in church, Once again God Bless you.

    am now focusing the High schools in the area and the ones that are from far and i know i will manage to get some soon in January as they enrolls form ones...
