What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent my second transfer on Secondary school fee for 2 of my children (20,000 KES), bought school uniform, shoes and text books for 3 of my children in primary school(10,000 KES). I soent on dry corn and assorted food items for my family (7,000 KES) and bought sand in readiness for plastering my house when I receive more money.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in our daily lives is that my children used to learn inconsistently for one week and be sent back home the following week due to lack of school fee.But what a change, this term they are in class consistently due to GD support!. In addition, I cant help informing you that with the first transfer I put up a hut for my eldest son who had to spend nights in a neighbour's home for long, but because of the transfers these days he has his own hut.
