I spent my first transfer to buy a sack of maize for consumption, I bought school uniform for my children. The remaining amount I spent to do some household shopping of the basic items which we lacked.

When I received the money, I was very happy because there was alot of hunger and my children had not yet completed their school fees hence I could not get their report cards. I immediately withdrew the money and bought maize for grinding and food for the evening. Thank you GD for the transfer.
