What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship faced currently is inadequate means of getting enough money to look after my children, especially providing education and food.

The happiest part of my day is in the evening when I go to the trading centre to be with friends. It helps relieve any kind of stress that I picked during the day.

Receiving this money means I will acquire taxi motorcycle that will provide regular income to manage the family, especially paying children's school fees, hospital bills and feeding. This is because that's what I think will be more support to my life.
