What does receiving this money mean to you?
Receiving this money means I will be able to get back to school and do Records and Management course. I sat for Uganda Certificate of Education in 2016 but I lacked money to continue to the next level so I stayed home. When I receive this money, I should be able to get a paper with which I can get a job that pays for my services. This will make me a better person.
What is the happiest part of your day?
I am happiest in the noon time when I am listening to the radio. The music and fun relaxe my mind.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship that I am faced with is lack of money. I have interest in education but I do not have the capacity. My parents depend majorly on subsistence farming so they could not raise money to take care of my tuition up the level that I really wished to. To this and, I am just at home trying to make ends meet.
