What does receiving this money mean to you?
Receiving this money means I will be able to build an iron roofed house that my grand children can sleep in. I share a house with them but this is very inconviniencing the fact that the house is small and some times being someone of age, there are things I want to do my way but I can not do them because of their presence.
What is the happiest part of your day?
I am happiest in the evening when I am playing with my grandchildren.I feel relaxed.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship that I am faced with is inadequacy of money to provide for my household. I do not have any one with a clear source of income that I can depend on. It is for this reason that I failed to educate my children.
