What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
My biggest hardship at the moment is feeding. This drought has destroyed most of our farms hence scarcity of food. Purchasing foodstuff at the market has also become too expensive.

My happiest part of the day is in the evening when I get the chance to sit down with my family, relax and share our days experience. It is such a niece feeling to me.
