"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I managed to construct a very decent, spacious modern house through the transfer. Initially, I used to stay in a small traditional house with weak walls and an old roof. It had even collapsed some weeks before I was enrolled. During that period I had to seek shelter from my friends and I even had to shift all my belonging. As a result, most of them got damaged and stolen as well. Also, the stay in my friend's houses was not that good at all because I was like a burden to them. The coming of GD into my life still feels like a miracle to me because it came at the time that I needed help the most. I am glad now I am sheltering under my own house with all my family members. We no longer have to worry about the rains and the insecurity issues like before."
