What did you spend your first transfer on?
We had a plan of constructing an iron-roofed house since our current house is too tiny to accommodate my household members well and offer us privacy that we deserve and therefore when we received our first transfer, we spent on 10 iron sheets that we will be using for the construction a bigger one once we receive our second transfer.
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
The moment I received my money, I felt very happy. This is because I could not believe it could reach us since in the past, many Ngos have been promising us for donations that are never forthcoming.
