What does receiving this money mean to you?
Let me express my gratitude to GD in the first place for considering me. I am so grateful for this. This means a lot.
With the money, I will build a house because my house is very small and leaks during rainy season. I will also buy iron sheets. My house does not have proper beddings and I will make sure to buy some and kitchen utensils.
What is the happiest part of your day?
I am always a happy person when I am eating.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The major problem here is food. We struggle a lot to find food for the day.
