Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
My daily life's biggest difference is seeing that I was able to pay up the debt that I had for my farm land and getting it back plus adding another one. This has given me freedom when it comes to farming as I will now have enough land to farm on as compared to before when I had to aways hire farm land since I had a small piece of farm land. I will now have plenty of food crops for feeding my family and when in access, we will off to raise money.

What does receiving this money mean to you?
Recieving this money means that I will be able to bring back part of the land I had morgaged off since I had knocked a pedestrian with the car I drive as a taxi and so I had to incure medical treatment bills.The other balance of the money will be used to pay childrens school fees because I always face challenges when it comes to providing there educational needs especially school fees.I believe its a wise idea to invest in my childrens education for a better future.
