What did you spend your second transfer on?
When I received my second transfer, I built a semi-permanent house of 60 iron sheets. This is because my former house was very pathetic; it had a leaky roof and again, it was very tiny and overcrowded.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that currently, I live in a better house; one which is properly ventilated and leak-free. I believe that this will improve our health to a great deal!
