What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent my third transfer on enrolling my child onto a polytechnic who had stayed hopelessly home for a period of one year after completing high school with no chance of furthering his education due to lack of money. I am happy seeing him go to school despite the worries paying school fees for the days ahead.Thanks to GiveDirectly for the unexpected miracle it had done in my life.
