I spent most of my second transfer to pay school fees for my children who are in high school because I did not want them to be sent home for fees. I bought 10 bags of cement which I have used to renovate my house from mud to plastered. I bought a sack of maize for my family's consumption and the remaining amount I spent to buy a trunk box, blanket and school uniform for my grandchildren who are orphans.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that I am not very much stressed like before concerning school fee, I managed to pay for my children their fees using my transfers hence they will not come back and sit at home due to lack of fees. Thank you GD
