(Part 3/3) "These children are my everything. I am very happy that my son is going to Kopila Valley School. The sirs and madams there came to look at my house and decided to help me. But I still have a lot of problems that I need to take care of. The loan that I took for my wife is still pressing me and I am working on repaying that. And by God's grace, I will be able to. With my wife gone, I feltlike I have lost everything but I know I have to stay strong for these children that surround me. My eldest son is smart and he talks to me like he is a grown-up man. And we share things with each other. The others are not so mature to understand the complicated system of life. In this hut, there is scarcity but we are managing, little by little. I go to work and do not want to spread my hands in front of other people all the time. I don't want to be asking for help all the time. I have able hands and feet to feed myself and my children. I have not accepted defeat. I never will."
