What does receiving this money mean to you?
Despite having a better looking house than other people, I do not have household items such as proper pots,buckets,chairs and tables. This money will help me to afford these things and also get the house painted as it is in bad shape. Since sleeping on a comfortable sleeping place is also important for anyone's health, we shall purchase a good bed and mattress for the children too.
What is the happiest part of your day?
All I am happy as the day ends is a good meal at home with my family. In a village like this,we are used to locally sourced relish from the garden which is not good as we do not even use cooking oil and rarely tomatoes. Affoding these lightens up our mood for that day.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
Personally, I believe being a married person means affording better things for your family. This always gives me pressure to do my best so that my family has a better life. Unfortunately, this is never the case most of the times as opportunities to earn money are limited. Hence, lack of opportunities to have pieceworks and earn some money is the biggest hardship.
