What did you spend your second transfer on?
I used 10000 to pay secondary school fees and planning to use 40000 to buy materials for fencing my compound after the rains have subsided because the road to my home is currently muddy and impassable.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
I Thank GD so much for the support because i was able to stock food for my family with the token payment. My child is now in school full time and after fencing my compound i will have a supply of vegetables all through without incurring losses from stray livestock.
