"My life has really improved. I am no longer poor and people now respect in the village. I can now talk where people are and people can now pay me a visit. I was the village subordinate, everyone could run to me whenever they needed someone to work on their farms or needed firewood or charcoal because this is the only source of income. Thanks to Gd I now look like a human being and I'm praying so that one day I'll also be in a position to employ one to work on my farm too. This is the biggest difference in my daily life."
