Vonface
received a $482 second payment.
"I spent my second transfer to buy a cow and two sheep these being the first livestock I am ever owning. I can now take my own animals for grazing in stead of other people's. The cow will give me milk to sell and consume. I also paid part of school fees for my cousin who was joining secondary school. She can now comfortably learn. The rest of the amount was spent on buying household furniture that lacked in my house."
