What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent my third transfer on buying a bull cow for ox-ploughing since I am a farmer. Gave my wife capital to start cereal business and bought maize to feed the family since we got less harvest in the previous season.
Do you have any new goals that you didn't have before receiving the transfer?
My new goals are taking care of the properties I bought with GD transfers especially my cows. I am feeding them well to grow, reproduce and give me milk in future.
How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
My family is leaving happily and peacefully than ever before because there is money to take care of our needs. This is a big difference to us. Thanks to GD.
