"Our first plan is to use part of the transfer to build a bigger house, because this one is small, and is in a bad condition. Secondly, we intend to use another part of the transfer to buy water pump to use in our horticultural farming, where we plan to grow tomatoes and onions. Lastly, we plan to use the remaining amount to buy furniture."
