What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent my second transfer on renovating my nursery school business by painting the class room walls and buying building materials which I will use to plaster the floor of the classes when the pupils have closed school . I expanded my domestic chicken rearing. I paid school fees for my son who is in primary school and bought school uniform .I also started a disk burning business for my son who dropped out of school after his father's death and now I am happy he is self employed and he no longer begs in the village.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is the prosperity I have gained from renovating my nursery school business since I have painted the class and the school looks presentable and now the pupils parents' feel safe and assured of productive studies for their children in my school. Starting a disk burning business for my son who dropped out of school after his father's death gives me happiness since he is self employed and he no longer begs in the village as he used to.
