Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily is that, I am in the process of constructing an ironed house. The house is currently at the beam level. I am expecting to complete my house with the second transfer. Previously, I didn't have hope to start the construction of an iron roofed house because I couldn't afford construction materials. In addition, I always find a challenge in maintaining my current hut given the scarcity of grass in my community.

The moment I received my money, I was overwhelmed my joy because I had got the money to start up with the construction of an iron roofed house.
