What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent my third transfer on building a decent spacious newly iron sheet roofed house which accommodates my family members comfortably and having this house gives me a peace of mind as I can harvest rain water from the gutter hence accessibility to clean water has been enhanced as opposed to before the transfer when my previous house was grassed thatched and leaky .I also paid school fees for my child who is in high school.
