What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent 32,000 KES of my third transfer to enroll for P1 Training at Eregi Teachers' Training College..I have been waiting for a chance to join a TTC but had no funds, thank you GD for providing an opportunity. My elder sister will be supporting me thereafter until I finish the training. The balance was spent on buying a heifer that we intend to raise for the purpose of bride price to my parents in future , as a traditional requirement of the Luo community..
