When we receive this transfer, we will buy cement and plaster our house. We are really tired living in the dust. When we plaster our house, our next target is to buy cows. The cows will continue to generate income for the family when they start to reproduce. The income from the cows will be used to build a house in Pleebo where our children will live to acquire quality education. When our children acquired quality education, we belive our livelihood will improve. It has been our dream to give our children quality education but due to lack of finance, we are finding it difficult. We want to appreciate the Give Directly family for bringing this assistance in our community.
What is the happiest part of your day?
Within the last six months we have not experience any happiness. I have been very sick and moreover, we can hardly get food to feed our family. When we make farm we hardly get good yield. We can't hardly support our children who are schooling in Kanweaken. This has brought complete shame and embarrassment to us.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
Our major challenge is finance. When we build this house, we had no money left to buy cement and plaster our house. We had been living in this dust for the past six year. Thought it is embarrassing, but we can't do otherwise. It has been our dream to give our children quality education but we don't have the means. As a result we had to send them to Kanweaken to live with some of our relatives and go to school. We feel very embarrassed because those relatives also have their children to support. The school in our community is just an elementary school. Once your children complete the grade level, you have to rent a place for them to live inorder to complete high school.
