What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent my second transfer on building a kitchen with 30000 Kes of my second transfer, bought a bed and a mattress for my children, bought them school uniform and spent the rest of the money on buying food.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that having constructed a kitchen, my daughters today are able to sleep separately from my sons. Before they used to all sleep in the same house at my older son's house but today, the girls sleep in the kitchen while the boys sleep in the same house they used to sleep in. Today, the girls are able to study peacefully since they are free from the boys distractions. This I believe will have a positive impact in their performance at school. I also have a place to peacefully cook, I no longer cook outside where it was a bit tricky cooking during rainy seasons.
