What does receiving this money mean to you?
Receiving this money means I will be in position to cement the floor of my house. I use to work in southern sudan with a certain company but when the civil war intensified, I come back empty handed and could not complete this house. Thereafter I started gambling with life with no basic source of income generatiing activity sleeping in adusty house. Once I put cement on the floor , the dust and insects will no longer distrub my household members hence they will be sleeping in desent accomadation.
What is the happiest part of your day?
My situation is alarming but because I have no any other source of earning a living, Iam forced to work from morning to afternoon endouring a lot of pain. Iam able to relax by listening to BBC programmes in the evening hours. The educative programmes have helped me live abetter life.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The bigesst hardship I face is lack of money. Iam diabetic and have high blood pressure which puts me down any time, so life is really difficult to manage. The situation does not allow me engage in to farming that could be the only reliable source of earning. My family is living a lacking life under God's mercy.
