Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that I had many problems, including a leaking grass-thatched house and it always made us wet in rainy seasons. Thank you because we are now comfortable. Again we did not harvest much last planting season, but managed to buy grain and we get enough to eat. Thank you very much GD for making a difference.
