What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The challenges that I am facing currently is that I oftenly get sick. I am not able to work and make money that I can make when I am fully healthy.
What is the happiest part of your day?
I have been able to be happy in the last 6 months because I have been healthy. I am able to bake the buns that I bake and sell to the people in my neighborhood.
What does receiving this money mean to you?
I am a happy person to have received these transfers. I will use this money to buy things that I need such as food and beddings. I want to buy a matress because I have never had an opportunity to buy a matress. I will also use this money to buy iron sheets because the grass that I use to thatch my roof is now scarce.
