How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
The difference in my life is that I have bought my livestock and the construction materials for an iron roofef house. With this I am optimistic of constructing an iron roofed house. I feel happy having received this, before life was a hustle and it was not easy to get even just little money.
