What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent my transfer on buying a cow which I am keeping for milk. I then bought a solar lighting system for my house and I no longer use a tin lamp which was very expensive to use and not convenient. I then bought iron sheets which I want to use in building a new house ones the last transfer is sent. I then bought new seat cushions for my seats because mine were torn and worn out.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
I have a lot of difference in my daily life because I currently use my solar light in the house at night my children can study up to late night because of ample lighting.
