What did you spend your third transfer on?
I felt so lonely after my husband passed on so when I received my third transfer I bought a television set to keep me entertain and help me forget about the sad memories of his departure. The remaining I spent on buying furniture and sheep for rearing.

What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent my second transfer to buy sheep that I am currently rearing and that will act as my source of wealth in future. Using the remaining amount, I used to connect electricity to my house. Previously I used to use a tin lamp that was not healthy for my children when they studied. They are now safe from the smoke.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that my house is now well lit after the electric connection and my children's health is also good and will not be affected from the smoke produced from the tin lamp.
