What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship that I face right now is lack of a sustainable source of income for myself. I would like to expand my business but this is impossible, thus most of the time I run out fish stocks due to the fact that most of the proceeds are used for sustenance and not for replenishing sold stock.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the evening when I am selling my fish at the market. The atmosphere is usually very lively as customers and sellers interact with each other and this makes me very happy.
What does receiving this money mean to you?
Receiving this money means that I can finally live in a better house because I will use it to repair my house.
