I am planning to spend $200 to pay fees for two of my children who are in secondary school. I will also use about $100 to add merchandise into my small shop.
What is the happiest part of your day?
One of my children got accepted into a driving school last month and this makes me happy because upon finishing, he will be in a good position to secure casual employment in a nearby town.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
With 6 children in various levels of education, I have already spent more than $1000 this year alone. Being a single mother, this money was hard earned from casual jobs in the village together with the sale of my goats. With less than ten goats remaining, I am worried about how I will get the same amount of money for their school fees next year.
