What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent my third transfer on paying school fees for my three children in secondary. It was hectic paying school fees for three children all the same time with the wages I get from the menial jobs I do. Were it not for the transfer, one of them could have repeated last year in primary. The remaining I spent on buying a sack of corn for my family consumes given that the droughts had taken so long, and we did not have enough to eat. I am thankful for the money.
