What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent my second transfer to buy sand and cement which I have used to renovate my house form mud to plastered. I bought fertilizer and paid laborers who were helping me in my farm and renovating my house, I bought a mattress because I did not have a good mattress and the remaining amount I spent to buy food for my family.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that, I do not have to worry about jiggers attacking my family like it has always been because I have plastered my house and this has given immense peace. Thank you GD for the transfer
