Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
My daily life is very different in that, I'm always filled with joy. This is because, I was able to obtain three acres of land that I will cultivate upon and the ox for ploughing them. Previously, I used to toil in other people's farm land in order to raise income for buying food. The pay wasn't very good and I couldn't raise enough money for meeting my needs especially food.

What does receiving this money mean to you?
Receiving this money means that I will buy land. I do not have gardens to cultivate and the piece of land I"m currently staying in, is just a plot. Lack of land for cultivation has forced me to always offer casual labour in people's gardens so as to get food for the family.
What is the happiest part of your day?
My happiest part of the day is morning. Whenever I wake up in this time of the day and Iam not sick, I feel so happy.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
Lack of land for farming is my biggest hardship. I don't have a garden for crop cultivation and for that reason, there is always scarcity of food in my house.
