I spent the larger part of my second transfer on paying university fees for my son and high school fees for my daughter respectively. This gives me peace at heart since I am assured my children studying with no worries of being sent home for fees as it used to happen before I received this transfer and it was very demoralizing .I also bought three bags of maize to feed on with my family and a calf too.
