What did you spend your second transfer on?
LSince I was living in a very small dilapidated house, when I received my second transfer, I dedicated the whole of it on constructing a bigger new house with iron sheets and steel door and glass windows. My new house is very strong and attractive, with a separate kitchen and has given me dignity in the community.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that I now have a new spacious house that comfortably accommodates my family and I am not worried anymore about where to accommodate my visitors too. I am really grateful to Give Directly for restoring my dignity.
