Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
I am personally happy since I am now living in an improved sanitation as opposed to before when we used to seek for both short call and long call in a bush and therefore we are no longer experiencing cases of frequent cholera outbreaks, the biggest difference in my daily life.
