Masela
received a $471 third payment.
"I am living with 5 bright, but poor orphans that I am taking care of; I provide for their basic needs and education and therefore I had a very huge burden hence when I received my third transfer, I used the whole amount to invest in their education. I cleared for them whole year fees and invested the rest of the money in two bulls that will facilitate their future education-I will sell the bulls when in need to pay for them school fees."
