"My usual day begins at 6:00am when I wake up and prepare breakfast for my family. I then freshen up and prepare my children for school and take them to school. Once they get to school, I knit my beads in the house almost the whole day. I deliver the ready beads to Kariokor only once per week on the market day; which is usually on Thursday. On the days that I don't go to the market, I spend my days knitting the beads. In the evening when my children arrive from school, I assist them with homework and prepare for them supper. In my free time I enjoy listening to 'bongo' music and listening to radio generally."
