Field Notes

How do local people climb up to the highest category of wellbeing?

"It was step by step…some times they could seem like falling back a bit then move forward just like a young child who is learning to walk, but now they have made it…while on the other hand some but very few if not one or two have moved into the category somehow faster."

Compared to ten years ago, is there more, the same or less inequality in your community?

“More inequality now, others are watching video, drink tea with milk everyday, eat meat whenever they want, while I have not managed to buy fertilizer for 3 years and I have not drank tea for 2 years. What are you saying?”
