Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is the relief I have within knowing that I was able to buy a set of ploughs that will help me in terms of extensive cultivation. Prior to getting this transfer, I used to use a hand hoe which took me long to cover up a big place.
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
Given that I had taken long without getting my transfer, I was so happy the moment I got my money. This is because I would also implement my planned activities.
What did you spend your first transfer on?
I spent my first transfer to buy two bulls at Ugx 900000. I then bought an ox plough at Ugx 200000 I then bought some household items such as a mattress, bed sheets, Utensils, clothing, food and other miscellaneous items.
