What did you spend your second transfer on?
I used the biggest portion of my second transfer on on buying 20 iron sheets in readiness for the construction of my new house when I get the third transfer. I also used 10000 KES to pay school fees for my 2 sisters-in-law in secondary school. The balance was spent on buying 1 sheep for rearing in my home as well as buying foodstuffs for my family.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that I have hope of building a new house for my family since I now have enough iron sheets, which are normally the most difficult to get.
