Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
I am seeing a big difference in my life because I have always wanted to have my compound but due to limited resources I haven't been able to do it. Finally I already have the materials needed and I'm moving to my compound tomorrow, this makes me feel independent and so happy about it. Thank you Gd for your support.

What did you spend your first transfer on?
I spent my first transfer on ploughing my one acre piece of land and planted on it hybrid seeds which to my own understanding, I thought would do well in that when low rainfall was expected in the region.
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
It was very early in the morning, I had just woken up and rushed to a neighbour to claim for a debt she owed me that would help me purchase a sachet of sugar for that morning's breakfast. As I waited outside her house for the door to be opened, a notification was sent via my cell phone, which I happened to have carried with me, confirming the receipt of my transfer. Honestly, I didn't bother waiting for the debtor to come out but instead rushed to a nearby shopping center where I withdrew the whole amount. It was such a memorable moment in life.
