Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is the extreme joy and happiness that I feel with in me seeing that I will soon build an iron roofed permanent house. This will relieve me from the issue of renovating the grass thatched house that I am still staying in. In the long run, it will as well help me save as I will not be spending on renovating the grass thatched house always.
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
The moment I received my money, I felt extremely happy having held such a big amount of money that I have never held before.
What did you spend your first transfer on?
I spent most of my first transfer Ugx 1600000 to buy some building materials such as four trips of bricks, two trips of sand, fifteen iron sheets, five bags of cement and twenty pieces of timber.
I then spent the balance of Ugx 100000 to cater for some feeding and buying my daughter some scholastic materials such as books, shoes, school bag, and feeding at school.
