What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent part of my third transfer on paying my school fees. I was taking a certificate course in teaching. I used to teach as untrained teacher that could help me raise the fees that the college kept sending me home for given that it was menial and it could not sustain me. I also bought some nice and decent clothing and when called for an interview, I am very confident and when I attend my lessons too. I am a proud teacher of English, mathematics and science, thanks to GiveDirectly. The remaining amount I gave my brother to assist him construct a house he had constructed.
