This money means that I will be able to build a new house. The house I am living in is small, made of unbaked bricks and is thatched with grass. I have to change the roof every year. It is tiresome because I get the grass from the mountain. Receiving this money will be an end to this problem. I will buy iron sheets, timber, baked bricks and other building materials which I will use to build the new house. I am also tired of sleeping on an uncomfartable mat with a few beddings. As such I will buy a matress and more beddings which will be enough for me and my family.
What is the happiest part of your day?
In the past six months there is nothing that has brought joy in my life. The challenges I am facing are a lot for me to be happy. I would be happy if they end.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The main challenges I face is lack of money to buy enough food and other basic needs. My husband depends on casual labor. He makes at least $3.90 per piece work which we use to buy food for two days. Unfortunately, he does not find work everyday which means we sleep on an empty stomach during those days.
