What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent 6,000 KES to buy sand, bought murram for 6,000 KES, cement for 3,500 KES, steel door for 7,000 KES and paid 1,500 KES as labour charges to plaster the house. I also bought a bull for 20,000 KES and funeral expenses cost me 4,000 KES and the rest was spent buying food.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The bull I bought has enabled us to reduce our farming expenses since we now have our own bull to use in ploughing.
