"I spent $300 my second transfer to complete the construction of house which I have begun with my first transfer. I purchased 22 iron sheets, timber, nails and paid labor charges. This is because the one I had earlier was very small and about to collapse. Furthermore, I spent part of the remaining amount to complete fee payment for my child who had completed his secondary school education but failed to clear the arrear. I bought enough food for my family with the remaining amount of the transfer."
