Receiving this money means to improve on my house because the current one I have is very small and can not accommodate all members of this household. This can also enable me ti buy other assets like land and other household e quipments.

The happiest part of my day is the afternoon when I receive visitors
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship is raising money to hire land for cultivation since the land we use for farming is very small.
