What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent my second transfer on buying a cow that I am currently rearing. I also spent part of the money to buy a solar lamp as I have been using a tin lamp and the cost of paraffin is proving to be high and I could not afford. I also spent some of the money bedding and bed.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that I no longer have to purchase kerosene and I cannot stay in darkness as I have a solar lamp. I am so happy.
