What did you spend your second transfer on?
When I received my second transfer, I rushed into purchasing 27 pieces of iron sheets and constructed a 3 roomed house to replace the single room grass thatched house that I possessed before. Secondly, I purchased food stuff for my family which was very hungry at the moment the transfer was sent. Food had become so scarce following the poor harvest that was experienced in the region previously.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is the newly acquired house that I never thought would ever acquire. The joy was observed in the entire family as we had become a laughing stock in the whole village for possessing the ugliest house in the entire village.
