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.
