I am very happy to receive this money. I never expected that I can receive this amount of money from an organization. I will use the money to buy food and fertilizer. I will buy fertilizer because I want to have a bumper harvest next year. I will also buy food so that we can have enough food to eat for the remaining part of the year.
What is the happiest part of your day?
I have been happy in the past six months when I have managed to buy enough food. Sometimes I manage to earn enough money to buy the food that I like and in the past six months there has been very few times that I have been happy because I have enough food.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
Currently, the biggest challenge that I am facing is lack of food. I am facing this challenge because I do not have enough money. My husband is a fisherman and business has not been going on well that is why I do not have enough money.
