What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent my second transfer on building a new house because my other house was very old and almost collapsing. I also settled some fee arrears which I was owing in my former secondary school and I was able to get my school leaving certificates. I then spent the rest of the money on leasing some rice fields which I have already planted with rice and I am now waiting for the harvest.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
I have seen great change in my life and I can confidently say that I am not as poor as I was before GD started giving me assistance.
