Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
My daily life's biggest difference is being able to earn a daily income while offering a service to my community. Prior to getting this money, my whole community did not have a grinding mill. We had to move extra long distances to acquire one and at times when one gets there, the person grinding is not operating hence demoralizing and making a lot of people go hungry or go to the neighboring village.
