What did you spend your second transfer on?
When I received my second transfer, I built a semi-permanent house of 32 iron sheets. I was not pleased with the fact that we lived in a small house since it was a sign of poverty in my community. Give Directly has liberated me from shame.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
Since I spent my first transfer on livestock- 2 goats and a sheep, I see it a big difference getting occupied and committed interacting with them as opposed to idling around. I anticipate they will soon reproduce to increase my stock of wealth.
