What does receiving this money mean to you?
Receiving this money means that I will renovate my house. The house I am living in is leaking and this makes me and the family stay a wake whenever it rains at night. The balance of the money will be used to purchase oxen for ploughing. Right now, I hire oxen and they are expensive.
What is the happiest part of your day?
My happiest part of the day is morning. Whenever I wake-up healthy in the morning, I'm happy.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
My biggest challenge is lack of oxen for ploughing. I have to always wait for the owners of oxen to first finish ploughing there gardens before they give them to me. This affects my planting season hence making me receive low yields at the end of the season.
