What does receiving this money mean to you?
I am very excited to receive this money. I will use this money to build a house and buy iron sheets for the roof. I will make sure that I will use some of the money to buy utensils for my household and start a business. I cannot use all the money that I have received to buy food. I will start a business and from that business I will be able to earn money for food.
What is the happiest part of your day?
I am very happywhen I have enough food and I am able to eat different kinds of food. It is very difficult for me to eat food like meat or rice. I mostly eat such good food on eid or on christmass. I believe with this money I will be able to buy different kinds of food and my family will be healthy.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship that I face in my life is lack of food. I depend on piece work to earn money for food. Since we do not have electricity in our village, I have to go the nearest trade center to do some work such as tailoring. It is from such jobs that I am able to earn some money for food. This money is not to buy food for my family.
