Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is the happiness I feel seeing that together with my husband, we gave my parents a small token of appreciation. As any woman's joy is always to be sent off well from her parents home. Since we had no means of arranging money quickly, my husband and I were just going to wait until we raised money that we would give then.
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
The moment I received my money, I felt so happy because I had got money that I would partially give to my parents.
What did you spend your first transfer on?
I spent my first transfer to buy one trip of sand, ten bags of cement, paying up labor that helped to renovated.
I then gave Ugx 300000 to my parents as appreciation.
My husband then used Ugx 700000 to boost his clothe business.
I used part of my money to buy some house hold needs such as clothes, utensils, jerrycans, back pack, and food for my family.
