What does receiving this money mean to you?
Receiving this money means I can buy a plot of land to build my home. I currently don't have my own share of land to cultivate in my marital home. This is because the elder wife has taken possession of all the spouse's land.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the afternoon while chatting with people.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship I have faced is having limited land for agriculture. I currently rely on renting land and also don't have enough money to rent enough of it.
