What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship I have faced in life is lack of money to pay school fees for my children. I sometimes feel so disappointed when they are kicked out of school due to lack of fees.
What is the happiest part of your day?
My happiest part of the day is in the morning when I go weeding in my farm hopping that some good harvest would eventually be realized.
What does receiving this money mean to you?
Receiving this money means good health and education for my children. Being a widower, I would like to provide food for my family members, buy for them clothes and pay their school fees.
