Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
My life is full of hope because I will be going back to school to pursue a certificate course in records and information management. With this certificate, I believe I will get the job which will enable me earn a living. Previously, I had lost hope because I was not able to raise tuition and life was generally hard.
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
The moment I received the money I felt the so excited, the happiness was too much and it was visible as I laughed with the rest of the family members and thanked God.
What did you spend your first transfer on?
I spent my first transfer on purchase of a mattress, a blanket and shoes for going to school. I have saved UGX 1,600,000 which I intend to use for paying my tuition. I will be undertaking a certificate course in records and information management for two years.
