What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
"With the kind of farmland we have in our region, it is difficult to plant on the farm and yield crops because of animals eating our crops on the farm. When ever I plant, I yield a little of crops to sustain my family which can not take us for more days or week. Due to this reason, I am challenged to providing food for my family throughout the year.
