This money means that I will be able to build a new house. The household I am living in is too small, not durable and it's thatched with grass. I have to change the roof annually. I will start buying bricks to build the house. After that I will iron sheets to make a durable roof which I will not have to change the roof annually. I will also buy utensils because I don't have enough utensils.
What is the happiest part of your day?
I don't have a specific time of the day when I am happy. I am happiest whenever I am healthy. I can't be happy when I get sick.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship I face is not having enough money to take care of myself and my daughter. I depend on casual labor like farming in other people's farms and fetching water for those who are building houses. I make about $1.95 per day when I find the piece works. Unfortunately, it's not everyday that I find work to do.
