I used my first transfer for buying clothes for my family member, a set of tables, sauspans, bed sheets and blankets. I intend to buy cows with the balance of the money.
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
When i received my money i felt happiness that i had never experienced in my life before
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference is that all my family members have clothes to put on, i have bought for my children school uniforms which they didn't have before. My family used to eat once or twice sometimes but now i can afford three meals in a day. When i buy cows there shall be more difference especially after calving, the animals will multiply and i can sell some to offset family expenses.There shall also be milk for both home consuption and for sale.
