What does receiving this money mean to you?
Receiving this money will enable us to build a house with burnt bricks, buy beddings, food, fertilizer so that we are food sufficient the following year. This money will come at the right time because this house is not enough, we don't sleep comfortably but what can we do. We make do with it. So we will appreciate the money for it will meet our above needs.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The birth of our daughter 6 months ago was the happiest day ever. We become parents and we are proud of that.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest challenge is food. We barely find work to do to meet our needs. We mostly cut and sell bamboo but that doesn't give us nearly enough for the family. Usually it's K2000 (less than $3) and that's not enough for food.
