It's me, Janet Museveni. It is a confirmation that the God I talk about is a living God. He is not a myth, He lives! I must therefore thank Uganda, beginning with Mzee, who has prayed with the whole nation. I praise God for leading us to know Him. Thank you all for coming out publicly to pray for me. Thank you for all those continuous prayers and also for the kind birthday wishes. Thank you for letting me know just how much I am loved.

Day 6, I addressed the Grow Money programme, raising concerns on the 10% interest rate and calling for its reduction as a World Bank grant initiative. I also noted that land title requirements for collateral exclude many grassroots women, and called for a more inclusive approach.
