What did you spend your second transfer on?
I bought livestock (a bull, 4 sheep) at 32,000 KES. I bought an ox-plough at 12,000 KES. I bought a woofer 9,000 KES. I spent the remaining amount on school uniforms and clothes.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
I have acquired the items that I never owned before such as livestock. The ox-plough facilitated the cultivation of my farms and made it possible to till the land in time. Previously I would struggle to hire ploughing services. The service providers would delay until the rainfalls subside leading to poor yields.
