Nicholas
enrolled.
"There was complication during the birth of my first born child which ended up needing special attention. This led to rise in her medical bills beyond my ability to pay and as a result, I had to sell a piece of my already small land to cater for the bill. This reduced the size of my arable land under cultivation. For me this is the biggest hardship I've ever experienced. "
