Do you have any new goals that you didn't have before receiving the transfer?
My new goal is to build a descent house since the current house I'm staying in is in a very bad state and may crumble down anytime.
How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
The biggest difference in my life is that since I received this cash transfer my children have never been sent home for school fees like it used to happen before.
