I am very excited to receive this money. I am an old person who cannot manage to work and earn money to buy food or beddings. I will use this money to buy the things that I nees especially food. I will also use this money to fix my house so that it can be a good condition.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the afternoon. This is because in the afternoon is when I manage to have food since most of my children will be preparing food for their households. It is during this time that they give me maize flour and relish so that I can prepare my own food.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship that I face is lack of food. Since I do not work, it is very difficult for me to buy food. I depend on my children to help me and give me some food. Sometimes I only have a single meal in a day.
