What does receiving this money mean to you?
When I receive the money I'll build my house. I already have bricks so I'll just buy iron sheets, frames and windows to build a house. My house leaked too much so I sleep in this small house which isn't enough. So I need build another one.
What is the happiest part of your day?
I am the happiest in the morning, because I make porridge for my children and when they are full and happy, I am aswell.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship I face is food. I don't harvest enough because of lack of fertilizer, I rarely receive coupons. I'm the end my harvests don't last all year so I have to buy with money I do not have. I rely on piece work to buy food and eat.
