Being that I am a farmer I spent my first transfer to purchase water pipes that I have been using for irrigation. I am happy nowadays I am able to irrigate my farm with ease.I also bought some corn for my family consumption.
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
I was busy in my farm when my wife brought the good news. I was so happy at that moment as I had given up waiting thinking I was not among the lucky people who were to receive the transfer. I was so exited when I confirmed.
