Dama's family

Dama enrolled.
"Receiving this money means building a better house for my family. This is because my current house is so small that it cannot accommodate us. Besides it is made of grass which is scarce due to the dry nature of this region. It is this this same house that serves as a kitchen and it tends to get smoky at night making it hard to breath. In addition to this, I will use part of the money to enroll my son in college."
