What did you spend your second transfer on?
When I received my second transfer, I built a semi-permanent house of 42 iron sheets. Initially, I lived in a leaky grass-thatched house and therefore life was very difficult living in a very cold environment especially during rainy season.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that I live in a more comfortable house-one made of iron-sheets as opposed to living in a leaky grass-thatched house. I enjoy living in an iron-roofed house in my home where all the decisions lie with me.
