What does receiving this money mean to you?
I do not have any former education at the age of 31. Because of this, I am limited in communication and cannot do anything that require reading or writing. When ever I am having conversation with my peers, I feel embarrassed when they are speaking about their experiences at school. Therefore, my plan is to use the money I will receive from GiveDirectly if I am eligible to educate myself.
What is the happiest part of your day?
My children are living with my mother in Moravia, I am very concern about their wellbeing. Last week, I communicated with her and She told me that my children are healthy and doing well in school, that brought me joy and happiness. I am anticipating to sent a portion of my transfer from GiveDirectly to argument my mother effort towards their education.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
My main challenge is I am not educated, I am 31 years of age now. I am limited when it comes to communication mainly in reading or writing. Whenever I find myself in conversation with my peers, I feel embarrassed especially when they are sharing their experiences from school. If I am eligible to receive the transfer from GiveDirectly, I will use the money to educate myself.
