Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
My life is different in that I have bought 2 bulls for ploughing my farm land. I'm hopeful of getting good yield now that I will be clearing my farm land on time not like when I could farm late because I had to wait for the owners of the bulls to complete first. In addition, my business is growing because I can afford to record like 4 songs within 2 week. Previously, I could only record one song in a year.
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
I felt very happy the moment I received my transfer because I got money for buying bulls.
What did you spend your first transfer on?
I bought 2 bulls worth UGX 1,200,000, gave my wife worth UGX 200,000, recorded songs worth UGX 250,000 and bought clothes worth 50,000.

What does receiving this money mean to you?
Receiving this money means that I will purchase oxen for ploughing since right now I'm using hand hoe for digging. With the hand hoe, I cannot dig a bigger portion of land. I intend also to buy cows for milk production and the milk will be consumed at home.
What is the happiest part of your day?
My happiest part of the day is evening. This is the time that I'm free from any work and usually chat as a family at this time of the day. This brings joy to my life as an individual.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
My biggest hardship right now is sickness. I have eye problem and there is no money for treatment.
