What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent the larger part of my third transfer on cementing my house and painted it as well and now I am happy living in a clean environment since I no longer stay in my previous mud house which was filed with dust.I paid school fees for my child who is in high. I also bought food for my family's consumption and decent clothes too.

I spent my second transfer majorly on a lorry of sand, cement and a sack of maize. I also paid school fees and labour costs for plastering my mud house.

The biggest difference in my my daily life is that my son will no longer be sent home for school fees. Besides my current house is permanent so will not spend much time on smearing it with mud like before cementing it. Thank you so much GD.
