I spent my second transfer on plastering my 2 roomed house (35,000 KES) my and partial electrification of the same (5,000 KES).I also gave my wife money (7,000 KES) to buy clothing materials for her tailoring business.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my life is that GD has just facilitated me to improve the family house by plastering it thus making it more durable and presentable. It happens that the house was not in good shape, and to me housing is everything that I better have a proper house even if there is not enough food for my family all the time.I am very grateful to Gd for this.
