What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship I have faced in life is lack of proper income to support my household. In many occasions we do stay with only one meal a day or sometimes spend the whole day in empty stomach.

Receiving this money means a great blessing in my life. I would like to built an iron roofed house and use the remaining part to pay school fees for my two daughters in secondary school.
