It sounds to me that you're on the right path and possess the right attitude to move yourself, and family, forward confidently and with the best life ethos in mind.
Hard work doesn't always provide everything we need, but it provides more than simply waiting for handouts. Sure, many get handouts they may not deserve and it can seem unfair, but working for ones' reward brings a good attitude and outlook which I feel is critical in life...For the future. Attitude is everything.
Thank you for your excellent response and i wish you all the best; It seems like you are making the best from a bad situation over there and are refusing to simply sit and wait for life to collapse around you.Well done.
