When I receive this money, i will firstly renovate my house. Then I will buy a bed, mattress, chairs and beddings. I will also invest in livestock to sustain the money and buy food with the remaining money.
What is the happiest part of your day?
When I did money for food, i get happy because feeding myself is my biggest challenge. So being able to eat every day makes my life pleasant.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
My biggest challenge is money. My house fell on one side which limits my house utilization to just the two front rooms. My bed was broken as the house fell due to cyclone Ana. Now I sleep uncomfortably in the living room with my bicycle next to me and water reserves. If I had money, i would have renovated the house. I also don't have food because of money. The casual work I do doesn't pay me enough to afford eating comfortably. I also lack kitchen utensils and other household necessities.
