So that they decides to work as cashew nut picker or potatoes digger during that season in order to earn 5 US dollars per day for one person. Sometimes, her parents are being busy on their works and there have no anybody looks after her siblings so she decides to miss out the class for a few days due to help the family’s management and taking care of her siblings.
