What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent my second transfer on plastering my house which was very ugly and worn out. For years, I had admired a plastered house but due to poverty I could not afford to do that. Besides that, I purchased some livestock to begin livestock farming as my fellow villagers.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that I feel some pride today of having a good house that curbed the shame I faced whenever I had to welcome visitors in the worn out and tiny house that I had before.
