What did you spend your first transfer on?
I spent my first transfer on hiring a tractor for ploughing my one acre piece of land and purchasing hybrid seeds that I planted on the farm. Were it not for the transfer, I wouldn't have ploughed my land since I lacked money for the tractor and could not as well plough the land manually.
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
I felt so happy when I received my transfer which came at the right time when I needed money to conduct my farming activities.
