I am very excited to receive this money as i have never had this huge amount of money in my life at once. This money will change the face of my house as i am planning to buy iron sheets so that i can roof the house. I can not wait to have my house well roofed. I could not manage to buy on my own as iron sheets are expensive
What is the happiest part of your day?
My happiest part of the day is the evening because that is the time i have the time to rest after working all day. I have to find piece work during the day to get some money which helps me. If i do not do these piece works i wouldn't be able to manage buying food
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship i have faced in my life is lack of food. I do not have enough food because the harvests is always a little. This is so because i can not afford to buy fertilizer as it is expensive. A bag of fertilizer costs about K25 000 and i would need at least 6 which i can't manage. I eat once a day most of the times so that the little food we have can take us some more days
