What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent my third transfer on buying building materials that I used to build a new house. My previous house was only two rooms and too squeezed and given that I old iron sheets to build it, it was leaking. , So I had to build a more spacious one.with new iron sheets. I am now happy that y new house is standing. I now have a three roomed house that comfortably accommodates me and my family.

What did you spend your second transfer on?
I have always dreamt of a bigger house but achieving this has been hard. I thank God that my dream is coming to its realization because I was able to purchase building materials. I also paid school fees for my child who is in secondary school. My child has always been sent home for school fees because i don't have a job and I have had it rough but this time I am sure my child will not be sent home for school fees.With education I know my children have a better future.
