I am very excited to receive this money and i know it will greatly improve my life. I will use the money to start a business. I want to be selling fish in town. It is a great opportunity for me because I am already staying close to the lake and it will be easy for me to buy fish from the lake and then sell in town. I believe this business will help improve my life as i will have money to buy food and other basic needs
What is the happiest part of your day?
My happiest part of the day is when fishermen have caught fish in the lake. This therefore does not have a specific time because some days it might be in the evening and some days might be in the morning.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
Lack of money to buy basic needs for my life such as food and clothes has been the major hardship which i have faced in my life. It is not simple to make money here as we mainly depend on the lake for fishing which has been a challenge as of late because we are not catching fish. I therefore lack money to buy food and i stay many days without proper food
