What did you spend your first transfer on?
I used a portion of the transfer to buy my children in primary school uniforms. They were putting on civilian clothes when heading to school because I couldn't afford them uniforms. I also purchased a table and family foodstuffs.
What are you planning to spend your upcoming transfer on?
I'm planning to build a pit latrine with a portion of the transfer because at the moment I have none and attend to my calls of nature in the bushes. I have a plan of building a kitchen because my spouse prepare meals in an open area. Besides, I'm planning to buy some two bulls which will help me in farming activities.
