What did you spend your first transfer on?
I spent my first transfer on purchasing school uniforms and shoes for my children since they had old ones, paid their school fees and used most of the amount on purchasing a bicycle to help in fetching water in far off places and even to avoid paying fare to my business place.
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
The moment I received the money I felt very happy knowing that I would be able to own a bicycle that I had really wanted for a long time since it was to help in carrying water which we fetch in far off places and even won't pay fare to my business place anymore.
