"I have challenges getting food as currently we can not practice farming. I use to be a subsistence farmer but because of the unfavorable climatic conditions of this year, I have been forced to try my hands on charcoal burning. But still, there's a challenge. My old age makes it hard for me to fully do this as I'm slow and do not have a lot of energy. Most of the time we try to do this with my cowife but still, we can't make enough to take us for longer than a week."
