"Acquiring a motorcycle is the biggest difference in my daily life. This is because it is now easy to earn a living as it can help bring in food, have money at hand and use it when need arises and then ease transport. Before when I had no motorcycle, feeding was really difficult. My family and I would even go without food as we had no where to turn to get money."
