What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent the larger part of my second transfer on buying building materials such as iron sheets,nails and timbers since I am planning to build a three roomed house in my own homestead as at the moment I am staying in a small old leaky grassed in my parent's homestead.I have also saved some money 2000 KES which I will use on constructing my house.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that I am peaceful at heart and happy as I have bought the necessary building materials which I couldn't afford earlier hence I am hopeful of building a spacious three roomed house in my own homestead which I have been longing for in a long time. At the moment I am staying in a small leaky house at my parents homestead and this situation is uncomfortable and non comforting as well.

What did you spend your first transfer on?
I spent my first transfer on purchasing a high density mattress. I had borrowed my brother's mattress who had sent a notification of coming back home. I feared that he would request back for his mattress, for this reason, I opted to have my own. Besides that, I purchased 6 pieces of iron sheets and kept aside in preparation for construction of a new house.
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
I felt so happy the moment I received my first transfer which came in at the right time when I needed a mattress of my own before my brother picked back his.
