My proudest achievement is having worked as a construction worker for many years and after diligently saving my earnings for a while I was able to build my own house.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship that I face right now is lack of a sustainable source of income for myself. I rely on getting casual construction work but at times these kinds of work are few. So most of the time I have to be very careful with what I earn.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the morning when I wake up because I can thank the Lord for blessing me and my family.
