Samila is a mother of three children. Her husband works in China. He only returns home various times during the year. Samila looks after their two daughters and a son. She also has to care for her mother-in-law. She is lucky to leave her children with her mother-in-law when she goes for work. Samila has no formal education and she sells vegetables at the village bus stop. She earns very little money, but even so, it makes an important contribution to the running of her household. She wishes she knew how to sew clothes, because then perhaps she would be able to make more money. There are jobs for domestic workers in town.
