What did you spend your first transfer on?
I spent my first transfer on ploughing my land and purchasing all the necessary seeds required to do my crop farming which was the only source of income I had. Proper investment on this sector would mean an increase in the family's income and thus an improvement in the living standards.
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
I felt so happy when I received my transfer as it was going to bail me out in matters related to my farming activities. Were it not for the transfer, I wouldn't have managed to cultivate my farm at the right time.
