Peter
received a $467 third payment.
"I had a very small squeezed kitchen constructed with only twelve iron sheets, but now it is constructed with twenty iron sheets, meaning it is now spacious enough. The other remaining amount, I spent on buying school uniforms for my children as the once they had worn out and I incurred some in my rice plantation given that I am a farmer. This is my investment."
