"I make rice farm, cut palm and even plant cassava just to send my children to school. Cutting palm is a very dangerous work and I don't want to continue doing such work. However, leaving palm cutting now and rice farming will affect my children's ability to go to school and will also affect our survival. Raising money to find another source of income for my family and I that will allow me to leave the palm cutting is my greatest challenge currently."
