What did you spend your third transfer on?
I used my cash on paying school fees. I thought this was the best way to use this cash since I did not have money to pay fees for my children. I also ventured into a business of selling clothes. I buy two bales every two weeks and I can say that my business is on the right track.

The biggest difference in my daily life is that I'v regained my lost hope of getting better education.
