I spent my second transfer on cemented my house into a semi- permanent house from a mud one.I paid school fees for my child who is in high school. I built a kitchen that I cemented too. I also bought a mattress.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest differences in my daily are I have managed to cement my house and this has been a relieve since I no longer go to my neighbors houses to borrow cow-dung and incur frequent expenses of buy clay to smear the previous house which was made of mud.I also didn't think I would be able to get enough nutritious food to feed on with my family since I couldn't afford it earlier on a daily basis however now I have money to buy food without alot of hustles.
