What does receiving this money mean to you?
Receiving this money will allow me to start a business, I'll be buying fish in bulk here and resell in town. That will enable me to buy food and improve the house. Might as well build another with burnt bricks when the business takes off. I will also buy a mattress and beddings.
What is the happiest part of your day?
My happiest part of the day is when I eat with my family after a long day of work trying to get money.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship I face is that I don't always have enough food in the house. I supplement with fishing so that I am able to provide for my family. I also rely on rice sells to help when food runs out in my house.
