How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
I'm hoping of achieving a lot from this coming year and even years to come.Because what GD has done for me no any NGO has done it for me before in my entire life. I was thinking of building a new house but there was no hand to do that because of the low income that I'm getting from the farming. But with the transfer that I got from GD I'm so grateful.
