Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
I have acquired a lot of household assets and utensils that i did not have. I expanded my house and now my children have their own room and even if visitors come they can seat comfortably and have space to sleep. I can now walk with my head high because my standards have improved. I would even suggest you come a nd supervise how we have used the transfer so that we qualify to receive transfers on a monthly basis for a total transformation.
