What does receiving this money mean to you?
Receiving this money means I will be able to build an iron roofed house.
My current sleeping house is very small and worst of all, it leeks.
I have not been able to buy grass to thatch it better due to it's scarcity and the fact that it is expesive.
I believe when this money comes, I should be in position to get a descent accommodation.
What is the happiest part of your day?
I am happiest in the noon time especially after I have had a meal.
When I am satisfied, I can think and work better.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship that I am faced with is inadequacy of land for cultivation.
I have only every small piece of land in which I can not plant all that is necessary to support a family.
At the end, food shortage and poverty which I have always lived in.
