What did you spend your first transfer on?
I spent my first transfer on buying our bedding because the ones we had were old and worn out. I paid school fees for our children and spent the remaining money on food.
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
I wasn't at home that moment but my wife called to inform me about the transfer and I was very excited considering the fact that most of those who we enrolled with at the same time had received their money.
