My goal of investing all the cash transfers is to fully build my house in my home town. It's because my family lives in an old house which has leaky roof. This is so embarrassing mainly during the rainy season. This living condition leads to community people underestimating my family. And certainly, my goal always is to build my family house in other to avoid personal embarrassment and to restore our family's dignity.
