Questions and instructions

Question pretext

I would like to ask you about all the gifts and loans you received from friends and relatives in the last three months, starting with the most recent. Please probe well - we want ALL transfers and loans, not just gifts of money.

Literal question

What was the total value of the gift or loan? If (all or part) goods, how much would it cost to buy them.
Does the sender live in this village? (1 = Yes, 2 = No)
