What did you spend your second transfer on?
I built a semi-permanent house of 30 iron sheets at a total cost of 48500 KES and I spent the remaining 1500 KES on food.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that I am now living in a more spacious house where everyone of us can breath fresh air and find a place to sit as opposed to before when we were living in a small house that we exceeded its carrying capacity/ threshold.
