What does receiving this money mean to you?
I have already purchase a piece of land and started building my own house. I was charged forty two thousand Liberian dollars by the carpenter to complete the roof. Therefore when I get the transfer, I will use the money to complete my house and use the balance to add to my farm land and make a bigger farm this year.
What is the happiest part of your day?
In the last six month my daughter was impregnated and by God grace she gave birth successfully. Initially she was always sick. I always got informed that she was hospitalised due the pregnancy. Until few weeks ago I got a call from monrovia that my daughter has given birth sucessfully and that news brought joy.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
One of the current challenges I'm facing now is the means by which I can raise enough money to complete my house and make a bigger farm.
The rice farm and pepper garden I made this year were all eaten up by groundhug and I was unable to get enough money this year.
