What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent my second on Secondary school for my child (40,000 KES) and bought cement and sand in readiness for plastering my existing house once I get more money.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that our son who is a student at a National school was threatened with being sent away from the classroom since he went to Class without paying any fee this term but only with a promise to the school authorities. I must say GD transfer came in timely and saved us the embarrassment, thank you very much. In addition, I had earlier invested my first transfer on certified seed and fertilizer, and I am excited that my family harvested enough to eat. Thank you very much GD.
