Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
The moment I recieved my money, I so happy that I knelt down and thanked God for this money.
What did you spend your first transfer on?
I spent my first transfer on buying some construction materials such as cement, and sand that I will use to renovate my current house. Then paying labor that is molding some bricks that I will use to build my bigger house in the future then the children would remain in the small renovated one. I also bought some house hold items such as bedings, radio, utensils and solar for lighting. This is because I had no thing presentable on this. I plan to also use some of the transfer to educate my children the following term as this will relive me from toiling in other people's gardens to raise fees and school requirements for my children.
