What did you spend your second transfer on?
When I received my second transfer, I constructed a semi-permanent house of 30 iron sheets. My former house was too tiny and squeezed to accommodate all my household members. Again, the former house compromised our privacy to a greater extent.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that we have been living more comfortably in a bigger house with well fitted ventilation and more rooms that has improved our privacy.
