What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent most of my third transfer on constructing a 3 roomed house to replace the tiny one that I had before. I really found it challenging spreading tattered on the floor for my kids to sleep on. A time would come when people visiting me early in the morning would find these children on the floor of the house with very pathetic bedding which highly displayed our poverty. i am so happy today that my children no longer squeeze themselves in the single room that I had before but instead have their own bedroom.
