Hi guys, just as usual, it's another welcome to this fascinating week of our usual engagement challenge. The fortune of numerous families as well as their envisaged prosperity has been extremely undermined by the effects of economic hardship.

Speaking for my country, but am sure that the situation may not be entirely different from what is obtainable from other countries where there is a hard-beating economy. The economies of developing and underdeveloped countries are mostly the worst hit by the reality of this present day.
I could vividly recall the just concluded context themes on "Lager and Small Families; Likes and Dislikes". Such is a topic that ought to borrow a leaf from the very difficulties of today. Supposing we are truthful to ourselves, it is already known to us that the worst economic situation does not in any way encourage large family sizes except in the case of intentional fall.
A good number of families in my very country have been on the base as a result of the hardship staged by the inflation in our very before. From the resumption of a new government in my country, the rate of inflation is virtually off the roof. Subsidy removal without sufficient and informed measures resulted in phenomenal hardship for nearly all the families.
It has become quite difficult for families to have their daily feeding and this has a greater and intense effect on mostly large family homes. This is clearly a result of the fall in purchasing power of the currency making it hard for it to afford the same proportion of food it previously could purchase.
Things have actually deteriorated more than expected. It was a privilege fir me to have traveled to my village where I noticed the extent of hardship people there are going through. I could almost worry my sense to discern most faces that had already transformed look due to intense hardship
It was really disturbing because this depicts that people can no longer sufficiently access food due to the abrupt increase in prices of food commodities. I desisted from complaining about my condition since I had seen these people, I instead became appreciative of my condition so far.
The story is the same here in the town as there isn't any difference in the above-illustrated scenario. Many families have been seen having trouble balancing their rents in this period as a result of the hardship of the current economy.
What about fees? During the previous terms, a good number of schools had their gates with twice the number of defaulters resulting from the inability of parents to pay school fees. The number of defaulter was twice what it used to be and this is because of the current economic catastrophes.
