"All of my kids dropped out of school due to my inability to pay for their school fees. Now, about all of them are struggling in life as we speak-some of them are jobless. This has made me feel as if I have failed as a parent and this feeling is really tormenting me every now and then. For me this is the biggest hardship I've ever experienced in my life. "
