    Dear Lenders,

    We heard some sad news from George earlier this week, when he informed us of the passing of his father. He let us know he is aware of his arrears, but expects to be late making payments this month due to this unfortunate event. We advised George to reschedule his payments if he is able, and passed the condolences of the Zidisha team on to him and his family.

    Thank you for your understanding,
    Bayle, Country Liaison Manager
