What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The hardship I have faced and I am still facing in my life is my leaking roofed house where whenever it rains we sit till it stops because we can not sleep because the rain wets our beds.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the evening when I get to earn some money and also in the morning while in my garden.
What does receiving this money mean to you?
To me receiving this money means I get a chance to construct a new house and educate my children.
