Hi Zidisha team. I am glad that, following profits made from a recent transport job out of the capital city, I am happy to report that I managed to acquire a metal gate for my land in the village, where I intend to build my house in the very near future. I intend to transport it to the village soon and hopefully put it up as I do my landscape and fencing..... here attached are the pictures of the gate. I wish all a great and succesful day. comment image

Buy a new drilling machine which will cost me Kshs.17,000 to help me when I get work to go in the field I can carry it and retain the current in the workshop as I can now hire somebody to help when the work is a lot. 2.The rest I will use to buy more material for the making of steel windows and doors for display. This will cost me roughly Kshs 15000. 3. The other amount I will but welding rods, cutting and grinding disks and paint. This will help me in improving my life more by upkeeping my family at the same time repaying the loan. THANKS ZIDISHA TEAM

Greetings Sefah, this is James. I am from the USA, am 71, married with 2 grown up children, Andy and Amanda. I read your story and I am very impressed with you and how you help other needy people when possible. I consider it an honor to make a loan to you to help you in your business. I am sure you have the oven by now and I pray it is working good for you. I know you are working hard to help your children have a good future, and help others too when possible. If anyone can succeed in business it is you. I have confidence in you. Well Sefah, I am sure you already know this, but you need a partner in your business, but not just any partner, I am talking about the Lord. Make the Lord your number one partner. Keep up the good work of serving others when possible. Every day I am praying for you, your family, and your business success. Take care, and keep on keeping on. Love to all and God bless. James

Hello son, this is dad. No I don't mind you calling me dad or daddy, all my other Kenya kids do. Son, I have been wondering how you, and your business are doing, and how is the family? I hope your business is doing well and getting even better. Hope the family is also doing great. I have been praying for you all every day. Son, in your last letter you said that you are working on expanding the business and I would like to know what your plans are for doing that. Are you thinking of expanding business in other nearby locations (other towns or cities)? Of course you would need another bicycle, and have to hire a trustworthy person to deliver the eggs in that location. Anyway, have you thought about having a business card to give to people and businesses to advertise your business? You would have to name the business and have your cellphone number on the card. I suppose you do keep records of your customers, their cell numbers, quantity of eggs they need, when their delivery time is, and other information you feel is important. If you have a lot of customers it can be difficult to remember every detail. Do you have a good chain and lock for your bike? Son, I know you are busy but when you have time, if possible, I would like to know a little about your family members. Would also like another photo of you. No hurry. Well son, remember I love you, take care, and keep doing your best. Dad
