My daughter Marie jeanne was not legally married for a long time and recently she gave me good news that she had her civil wedding and made her marriage legal and I was very excited to hear that.

What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
Not having enough land to cultivate is my major challenge, i have to rent to be able to produce what to eat. Working for others itself is not enough for me to collect enough to rent a land i try to go into saving groups to be able to get that money and be able to pay for my grandson school fees.
