What does receiving this money mean to you?
" My wife and I will decide how should the transfer be used. We have always thought of getting a piece of land along the Monrovia-Bomi highway. If there is still additional cash left, we will use it and start our house project. The town we currently live in doesn't have a school. Our children have to walk long distances to school. Once this house has been built, the children would now be enrolled in nearby school so that they don't have to walk long distances anymore".
What is the happiest part of your day?
" My family had a reunion this past independence celebration, July 26, 2021. We had family members who came from far and near. We had a wonderful time, lots of fun. It was a remarkable moment and it brought so much joy and happiness to me. Because of such even, we have decided to have this occasion every independence celebration."
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
"The only challenge my family and I are faced with is getting money to take care of the home. I am a fisherman and the money I get is insufficient to run the home because I wife is currently I'll and not working".
