"Our main challenge is to get food for the family. My husband is old now. He cannot make regular rice farm. My only big son who was a help to my family died about two years ago. So considering our age and strength, getting food for the family has been a challenge. Another challenge is with our house. Up to now, only one room is completed. We've been trying to complete the entire house but due to lack of finance, the house remains an "open door policy"."
