What did you spend your second transfer on?
When I received my second transfer, I used 9000 KES to buy and fix a steel door on my house to improve the security of my household items. I then paid school fees balance of 3500 KES for my child so that he is not sent home for the same. Most of the money was however spent on on buying 10 bags of cement which was used to plaster my entire house to make it stronger and more attractive. The balance was then spent on buying a sack of maize and other food items for my family since we did not have enough food in the house.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that I have plastered my house, thus no worries over the need to repair house walls.
