What does receiving this money mean to you?
We have received this programme with all our hearts and we just hope we will really receive this money.
What is the happiest part of your day?
I'm always happy in the evening because that's when I spent time with my family since during the day I'm always busy with my piece work.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
So far we are struggling with how to find food for this household since we only relay on casual labor.
