What did you spend your second transfer on?
I used a portion of the transfer to built an iron roofed house since the house I had was only covered with polythene. I also purchased foodstuffs for family consumption with the rest of the transfer.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that my life has really improved. I was living in a house with a polythene roof and had to endure the night cold but now, that frustration is no more because I managed to built an iron roofed house.
