What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent my third transfer on redeeming my High School Certificate for 20,000 KES, that had been held in my former school by the Authorities due to fee debt since 2009. I have saved some 10,000 KES to enroll for an ECED (Early Childhood Educational Development) Course come December 2017, to enable me get a serious and regular job in future. . I then bought a bull for 15,000 KES that I am raising to support food production in future.

I spent my second transfer on clearing my school fee to get my certificate. I plastered my house and bought a few households.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is having managed to get my form four certificates that I haven't been able to get since 2009 because I had not cleared school fee. I'm now planning to join college so that I at least get employment in future. I also managed to plaster my house so I don't have to look for soil every time for smearing my house because I resorted to a long term goal.This is the biggest difference in my daily life.
