I am living in poverty for long time, I eat once a day and the food is not sufficient, I have to work hard in others farm for $1 per day in order to get food , My house is very old, my roof is destroyed, I have no bed, no matelas, no bed sheet, I don't sleeep well. I always cook in my room and that makes my house very dirty.
