Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
My daily life's biggest difference is being able to open up my video business that is now helping to cater for my family needs. Prior to getting this transfer, I used to do any casual labor that came across just to make ends meet.
In addition to this, I am happy that I was able to buy some heads of cattle that I plan to give to my wife's parents as dowry (my culture tradition). This process would wait until the time I can not tell had I not go this transfer.
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
The moment I received my money, I felt happy knowing that I would now open up my business to keep me busy.

I then bought two cows and one bull at a total Ugx 700000.
