What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
My biggest hardship as at now is feeding as this harsh weather has destroyed most of our farms and water shortage is also a major problem here.

Receiving this money is a blessing I must say. My family is growing fast and the expenses getting higher even more hence I am planning to boost my hotel business as this is our main source of income . The rest of the money I will use to finish building my house and paying my children's school fees.
