What did you spend your third transfer on?
I have children in high school, and they used to be sent out of school so frequently for lack of school fees. So when I received my third transfer, I am paid the whole amount on their school fees. My daughter has her certificate now. I pray that GD will continue helping others like me who are less fortunate in other places.

What did you spend your second transfer on?
When I received my first, I bought a half acre piece of land. We never had a land of our own and therefore we decided to do this in order to possess our own land with title deeds under our names.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
I think owning a land forever is the biggest difference I can mention in my life. Land is an asset that we can as well when in financial problem.
