What does receiving this money mean to you?
Receiving this money means I will be able to pay bride price to my parents-in-law.
By so doing, I will be a free man.
This will give us the opportunity to settle together as a family amids all charllenges that may arise.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the evening when I am at the centre with friends.
I learn new ideas.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship that I am faced with is inadequacy of farm land.
A bigger portion of land was leased out by my father when I was still young.
Now I am a man with a family and I almost have no where to cultivate.
I feel this so much when it is rainy season because while people are working, I do not have the chance to do so because of the limitations of land.
