Elizabeth
received a $22 nineteenth payment.
"I expect in the next six months to purchase another goat and add to the one I recently bought with GiveDirectly's transfers since they have the capability to reproduce within a short period of time. I will be able to sell some when they are of large numbers and replace the income I make from the sale to an ox in the future. With the ox, I would be assured of consuming less time in plowing my farms and also get good harvests."
