What does receiving this money mean to you?
Receiving this money means I will be able to build an iron roofed house to avoid the burden of always changing the roof. If there is any balance, I hope to buy a cow that will reproduce. This can support me at the time of marriage in future.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the noon time when I am listening to music especially after my morning duties. It keeps me off some bad memories.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship that I am faced with is lack of food. I lost my parents when I was still young and since then, life is just a struggle. There is no land for me to cultivate in order to get food. I depend on casual labour and whatever little I am able to earn is what I use to get all that I need - including food. Way back, my step sister tried to support me but time came when she could not accommodate me any more.
