What did you spend your third transfer on?
I had done my secondary education but I did not make it to join college for lack of school fees, so when I received my third transfer and second transfer, I managed to join college. I am taking a diploma course in teaching. I am hopeful that I will finish school and practice my career and feed my family more comfortably.

I used a portion of the transfer to built a new iron roofed house. I'm still having some cash at hand which I'm using to buy other household items.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that I now have my desired house. I'm a laborer and earn daily wages which I could not afford to built such a house since it was too little and only enough to buy family foodstuffs on daily basis without.
