I built spacious one roomed house as a sleeping place for my grown up daughter since the traditional custom states that grown up daughter shouldn't sleep in the same house with their parents .I also bought school stationery for my children's education and a bag of maize for my family's consumption.

What did you spend your first transfer on?
I spent my first transfer on payment of school fee for my daughter who is in form one. Raising fee for this child has always been an issue and in most situations I would plead with the school principal, whenever she is sent home, to allow her stay in school as I look upto settling the payment.
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
When I received my transfer, I felt so excited since that was the last day my daughter had in school after which she would be sent back home to fetch her school fee.
