Making handicrafts made from plastic waste

Desy Citrawati Utami    Jan 8, 2023

Due to financial problems that are still quite heavy, so please lighten the installment amount.

Karena masalah keuangan yang masih cukup berat, jadi mohon keringanan jumlah angsuran.

Desy, I hope you see this :-)

I just had an idea that I'm surprised I didn't think of back in 2017 when I first got to see your wonderful work...

It might be worth considering making a profile on Etsy... Its a website that is popular for people wanting to buy handmade goods etc. It would be great to be able to buy some of your work... & I thought it might make it a bit easier to bring in some more income by being able to sell to people further afield (like people here from Zidisha).

If you do end up making one, please go ahead & share your store with us :-)

Hope this is a little helpful? I hope things get a little easier for you soon :-)
All the best, Emma from Australia.

If you are not able to make a payment then please leave a comment. Every lender understands that there are difficult periods in someone’s life.

  Joost... I know you mean well, but I just thought I would bring your attention to how much you tend to write messages that evoke a sense of guilt or shame... & as a current psychology student, I just wanted to let you know how damaging & unhelpful that can be...
  
  It is possible to instead give lenders support/encouragement as the little nudge some need, & still provide relevant useful/helpful information. When you go about things by using guilt/shame, it can often be more triggering/damaging than it is useful, as not everybody has rock solid self esteem or belief in themselves. If people feel like they've disappointed people, or are beyond redemption/made too many mistakes that someone no longer believes in them, it can often stop them believing in themselves, & cause people to withdraw/give up...
  
  I just thought I would let you know, as it often breaks my heart a little when I see your messages... Not everyone reacts/responds to things the same... We need to go about things with encouragement, kindness & empathy, as showing understanding/respect/compassion is more likely to illicit the same in return... We need to remember we are all human & showing our humanity is the best way to do that...
  
  I hope you read this & understand it is being written with the best of intentions, & not meant to be hurtful/rude etc :-)
  
  Wishing you all the best Joost, I hope life is making you smile.

Dear Desy,

I just saw that you missed some payments.

If you are not able to make a payment then please leave a comment. Every lender understands that there are difficult periods in someone’s life.

WELL DONE DESY :-) :-) :-)

Don't stress yourself too much about posting pictures all the time etc... Although they can be lovely/inspiring to see, you just focus on doing what you're doing hun :-) My earlier message asking about an update was just to check you hadn't disappeared... I just wanted to check you were ok because payments hadn't come through for a little bit... But its SO WONDERFUL to see/hear how well you're doing, and good job for finishing the last loan up :-)

I'll be here to support you for any future loans hun, don't stress yourself too much :-) Just try & pop a msg through to let us know if you're ever having a hard time. But you very much still have our support :-) Maybe making smaller regular repayments might make things easier for yourself?

I hope life is making you smile Desy! You're doing such wonderful things...

All the best, Emma.

Dear Desy,

If possible please work on your “on-time repayment” score. It’s important to have a high score because such a loan is funded faster by the lenders. If your score is 90% or higher (it’s now 46%) then your credit limit is allowed to grow.

More info about how this core is calculated can be found here www.zidisha.org/forum-threa...

Good luck with your business and please keep me posted with all the new stuff you make.

Kind regards,
Joost

Your loan is now fully funded. Please show me more of those beautiful products.

• Desy Citrawati Utami    Jul 19, 2018

  Thank you for the help and support that has been given to me. Loans I have received. Previously I apologize if I was late to provide updated information about my product, because I also do some other work. And I will show you beautiful and useful products.

  Terimakasih untuk bantuan dan support yang telah di berikan pada saya. Pinjaman sudah saya terima. Sebelumnya saya minta maaf apabila saya terlambat memberikan informasi yang update mengenai produk saya, karena saya juga mengerjakan beberapa pekerjaan yang lain. Dan saya akan menunjukkan produk-produk yang cantik dan bermanfaat kepada Anda.

My previous loan was fully paid, and I would like to apply for another loan through Zidisha to support my work in plastic waste processing. And hopefully what I do can be useful and can make money for many people around me.

Peminjaman saya sebelumnya sudah lunas, dan saya ingin mengajukan pinjaman lagi melalui Zidisha untuk mendukung pekerjaan saya dalam mengolah sampah plastik. Dan semoga apa yang saya kerjakan bisa bermanfaat dan bisa menghasilkan uang untuk banyak orang disekitar saya.

Emma    Jul 15, 2018

Are you going ok Desy?

Wishing you all the best :-) Emma.

  No wonder your comment got passed the team, you wrote in Bahasa slang. :) @Desy, if you have not been able to pay for your chosen commitments, you can choose to reduce your installment amount. Info to your lenders what causes you can not pay your installment. Please keep your lenders trust.

  @Desy, kalau ibu belum bisa membayar sesuai komitment pilihan anda, anda bisa memilih untuk mengurangi jumlah angsuran anda. Infokan kepada lenders anda apa yang menyebabkan anda belum bisa membayar angsuran anda.
  Mohon dijaga kepercayaan lenders anda.

Hi Desy! How are you using the plastic waste? What are you making with it? Best wishes from Germany, Helen

• Desy Citrawati Utami    Nov 14, 2017

  Simple things can be used as a place of flowers, a place to sit, decorations on the table, and much more.

  Hal sederhana bisa digunakan sebagai tempat bunga, tempat untuk duduk, hiasan di atas meja, dan masih banyak lagi.
