Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that am in a more presentable house than before. Plastering has saved me a lot of energy and time which I would spend in repairing my house with traditional materials. I now have more time to spend on my farm hence better farm produce. My house is also easier to clean and this has improved my family's general hygiene hence improved health conditions.
