What your giving became.

A year on, the stall runs six days a week. I feed my three children from what I earn, and I have begun to set money aside for their school fees.

A year on, the roof still holds through the heavy rains and both children finished the school year. We put a little aside each month now — something we could never do before.

The milk brings a steady income now. I sell to my neighbours each morning, and my daughter is back in school for the first time in two years.

I bought a sewing machine and a stock of cloth. My old customers have started coming back to me.

We repaired the roof before the monsoon and set up a treadle pump, so the vegetable field has water through the dry season.

I bought a healthy dairy cow with the gift. She already gives milk twice a day.

We fixed the roof before the rains came and paid a full year of school fees for both children. It is done — the work is finished.

I opened my vegetable stall at the market and stocked it for the first week. It is small, but it is mine.
