What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship that i am facing is sleeping in a leaking house.
Usually when it rains at night, i have to sit at a fair coner so as not to get wet.
As a result, i don't have enough rest and this affects my work of the next day - some times i end up not going to the garden especially if i felt so cold in the night.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the afternoon after i have had lunch and i am sitting with my grand children.
I feel good even just seeing them play.
What does receiving this money mean to you?
Receiving this money means i will be able to build an iron roofed house, buy a cow so that i can take milk.
