"When I received this money. I was very happy. I had to kiss my phone. For a moment I remembered how I have always struggled to make ends meet through casual work when I was not given a motorcycle and I thanked God for this miracle. I then called the owner of the motorcycle I wanted to buy, just to inform him that I have the deposit so that he should not commit selling the motorcycle to someone else."

"It was in the evening when I was storying with my neighbours when I heard the phone beep. I never considered it important and went on with the story until one of my friends told me to attend to the phone. When I checked the phone, I was shocked and could not believe my eyes. They thought something was wrong and I had to step out to recollect myself. When I told them of what had happened, they too checked their phones since they are also GD recipients. It was a moment of joy for me."
