"My new goal in the next six months is that I will be having a new house built through GD transfers. On my own, I have tried raising money for building a new house but due to low income from casual work and farming, I have not been able to raise enough money to meet my family needs and even buy building materials. Right now, I believe I will finally have the house because I have made a significant step and since GD will be sending me the transfers for the next 11 years, I know I will achieve this goal with the transfers."

"My life will be different in the next six months in that I will never have to rely on others for my personal needs as before the transfers. I am soon finishing the mechanic course which I have been doing for the better part of this year. Without the transfers, I would not be hopeful about the future as I am now. This is because I did not have any income and was just at home relying on my parent for every need. When I am done with the training and finally get a job. I will have a bright future and because of GD transfers. Without the transfers, I would not be looking forward to the future."
