What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent my third transfer on Solar panel for lighting and entertainment, as well as housing materials with which my husband and I shall build and shift as soon as we are ready. We always wanted to put up a bigger house in our own compound as required by Luo traditions but we had no funds until GD supported us. Thank you.
