What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship I have faced in life is extreme poverty that sometimes force me to go begging literally for food and other basic needs including shelter.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the evening when I get some little payments from the cheap labor that I offer in farms and buy food for my household.
What does receiving this money mean to you?
Receiving this money means liberation from life of frustration. I would like to built my own home as the well wisher whom I do stay in his house is no longer comfortable with me. I would also like to use the remaining to buy a bed and a mattress and clothing.
