What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship I have faced in my life is lack of school fees to attain some modern training. I was forced to drop out of college and the brilliant dream that I had was diminished. This makes me feel so disappointed in life.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is at noon time when my children come home from school and give me good reports of what they learned and daily progress.
What does receiving this money mean to you?
Receiving this money means great achievement and blessing in my life. I would like to construct a separate kitchen from the main house, a cow for milk and reserve the remaining to pay fee for my son who is a candidate.
