What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The hardship I have faced in life is lack of money to pay fees for my children. I know education is the best investment a parent can give to a child and inability to provide for this gives me shame in life.

What does receiving this money mean to you?
Receiving this money means great achievement in life. I wish to pay fee for my son who just joined university. I also hope to start some business that will be a source of income for my household.
