    Dear lenders,
    I'm Analin and I'm a Country Liaison Manager at Zidisha.
    Harun Githinji, one of Duncan's additional contacts, sent us a message over the weekend to let us know about some of his own efforts to contact Duncan about his loan payments. Duncan is often out of network coverage areas, and they live very far from each other, which makes it difficult to talk to him in more depth about his situation. He explained that on the repeated times he's spoken to Duncan about this issue, he intends to resume his loan payments shortly. We informed Harun Duncan has not submitted any loan payments in several months.
    We are very grateful to Harun for his efforts and will continue updating you as we hear from Duncan and his contacts. We hope to hear from Duncan himself soon.
