Anthony
enrolled.
"Receiving this money means I will be able to own a dairy cow. The one we currently have belongs to a relative and I am sure it won't take long before we relinquish it. Owning a cow will accord us with milk that will sustain my family financially and with good health. This means that I can afford the impending secondary education for my two children. To me this money is life changing. "
