"I was in my village baking my bread when I heard people shouting that givedirectly has sent our money, I left my baking right away and when to the network areas to check if I have received mine. Luckily for me I saw a huge amount of money in it. I was very much happy on receiving the money. I was happy because I haven't seen people giving money for free Without paying back."
