What did you spend your third transfer on?
When I received my third transfer, I completed the construction of my 35 iron-roof house. I decided to construct the main house since the one I initially lived in was too tiny to accommodate us all-it was of 10 iron sheets, serving us as a kitchen, sitting room and a bedroom for all my household members-it was poorly ventilated and overcrowded.

Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that I'm now living in a nice house which doesn't leak irrespective of the weight of the rainfall. My former house was heaving leaking during rainy season and had no peace in my life but now, I'm a reliaved woman and enjoy every single day of my life.
