What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent the larger part of my second transfer on building a decent spacious three roomed house in my own homestead and now I no longer stay in a small leaky grassed thatched house as before. I bought a bag of maize for my family's consumption.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that I have built a decent spacious three roomed house in my own homestead hence I no longer stay in a leaky grassed thatched house. This has given me alot of peace since it has reduces conflicts which I used to have in-laws while staying in my parent- in- law's homestead.
