"My first plan is to spend the part of the transfer to expand my business of a canteen by buying more commodities like beans, rice, charcoal, cooking oil and others, and selling to the villagers to earn some income. Finally, I intend to use the remaining amount to build a semi-permanent house because this one is small and is in a bad status."
