What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent my second transfer to pay 19000 KES school fees for my daughter who is in secondary school. I used 28,000 KES to buy sacks of cement and Iron sheets that I will use to renovate my house. It is not in a good condition currently and being that we are in the planting season,I spent the remaining amount to purchase fertilizers and seeds in readiness for planting when the rains start.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that my daughter is in school. She has not been sent home for fees lately. This is the biggest I can say.
