What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent the whole of my second transfer on buying cement, sand, windows and door which I used in renovating my house becaus my house was so dusty and had a lot of jiggers and bedbugs.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is the peace I have for staying in a decent house thus no more jiggers and bedbugs. My households too are now safe and in good condition since they are not spoilt by dust anymore.

What did you spend your first transfer on?
I spent a larger portion of the transfer on buying sand which I'll use to cement my house after receiving the second transfer. I also purchased corns for family consumption.
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
The moment I received the transfer, I felt absolutely happy. In fact I immediately made it to the nearby trading center to purchase corns for family consumption since I had none in the house and was wondering where to get my family the daily bread.
