What does receiving this money mean to you?
I'm so happy to be enrolled into this program. Receiving this money means that I will marry a wife who will help me with washing ,cooking and other house core activities. Since I am also engaged in farming, this money will help me hire some people to work in my gardens. It has been challenging working alone in the garden as sometimes crops to be harvested are eaten up by weed.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is morning. Whenever I am done with my daily tasks like digging, I feel happy.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
Not having a wife is my biggest hard ship currently. It is challenging, when it comes to washing, cooking, cleaning the house as these activities would be done by a wife.
