Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is the happiness I feel for having managed to purchase a bull as my asset (which I thought would never be in position to have since I could never raise that amount of money to buy it) and then a solar that lights up my house when darkness comes. This solar has majorly helped me to avoid tripping over some items during night since I can clearly see with the light it offers.
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
The moment I received my money, I felt so happy. This is because I never thought that I would ever get money to purchase what ever I have now.

I then bought a solar system at Ugx 300000.
