The biggest hardship that I have faced in life is when my son was sent home from school due to lack of school fees. It has been difficult for me because I can't afford to pay for his education. I depend only on the little money that I get from the sale of sisal ropes and charcoal.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the morning when am busy making charcoal or sisal ropes that I do sell to get income.
