What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent most of my third transfer on payment of school fee for my four children in secondary school. I faced a lot of challenges in raising this school as I had no stable source of income other than sweet potato farming that I engaged in which again was not very reliable. At the time I received the last transfer, the children had accumulated a lot of school fee arrears which could not even allow them continue with their studies in peace. I was therefore so glad when I managed to clear these arrears and had my children resume their studies.
