What does receiving this money mean to you?
Receiving this money to me means fulfilling my plans of buying my own land for agricultural activities and cattle to secure school fees for my children.

The happiest part of my day in the afternoon because it's the time am having lunch. This helps to restore the energy I spend in my daily routine.
