Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that, I have started paying for a business house at our trading center. I am planning to sell my cow and add money to my second transfer to complete house payment. I am currently finding hardship with my children's education. I expect to make high profits from the produce business I intend to start because the house is located in the busy place. The money I get will help me educate my children with ease.

What does receiving this money mean to you?
Receiving this money means that I will be able to buy oxen and ox-plough for ploughing. Iam some times dependant on crop farming but labour is a limiting factor hence I produce what is not sustainable. I will be ploughing and planting earlier with first rains hence maximising production. This produce I may sell some for Educationing my children.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is afternoon hours especially after lunch. I get time for resting on my bed reflecting on other issues.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship I face is sickness. My family members fall sick a lot and I spend too much money on treatment that would help in development. My family faces hunger due to low income savings.
