Because I know sewing. Through this machine I can earn some money by doing my own work and other people's work.
It will also be possible to maintain the cost of the girl's education with my income. Also thanks to them for giving me machine for doing work instead of giving me cash. I might have spent the cash. But after getting the machine, I can work and maintain my family with the income.”
