Hellen
received a $481 second payment.
"My second transfer has really relieved my life a lot.I never had a kitchen before, I was using the same 2-room-house for cooking, dinning and sleeping and this could inconvenience our lives a lot due to chocking smoke circulating all over the house. I spent the rest of the transfer on 2 cows that I anticipate to facilitate education of my children in the future."
