What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent my entire third transfer on completion of our 4 roomed house which we started to work on using my second transfer. We had a very bad-looking grass thatched house, and we always needed a house as a matter of emergency yet we had no funds earlier on until GD supported us.

What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent all of my second transfer on purchasing construction materials (iron-sheets, timber, a steel door and steel windows and nails) and paid for construction labour.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that I will soon own a better house which is more spacious and besides it will be more presentable than the one am in right now which was built with only 6 iron-sheets. Owning a larger house makes me happy because I will be able to accommodate guests and my family easily.
