What did you spend your second transfer on?
When I received my second transfer, I built a semi-permanent house of 35 iron sheets. My former house was too old to offer us comfort that we needed in life. Its roof was leaky and we could be drenched together with our items.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that currently, I am living in a cleaner environment. I have made my home more organized, constructed a kitchen and main house differently. I believe this has also uplifted our level of hygiene.
