00:00:02.000 --> 00:00:04.000
[ominous, pulsing music, followed by plaintive piano notes]

00:00:41.000 --> 00:00:42.533
One major challenge is the

00:00:42.533 --> 00:00:45.533
increasing heat from the sun.

00:00:46.766 --> 00:00:49.366
The intense heat can lead to other issues

00:00:49.366 --> 00:00:51.066
for me, such as bed sores.

00:00:57.366 --> 00:00:58.633
It has become difficult

00:00:58.633 --> 00:01:00.833
to work outside for long periods.

00:01:07.566 --> 00:01:10.566
Since I had severe spinal cord injuries

00:01:11.066 --> 00:01:14.066
the effects of the heat
can be quite serious.

00:01:24.800 --> 00:01:26.100
The primary issue

00:01:26.100 --> 00:01:29.100
is that the heat drains my energy,

00:01:29.566 --> 00:01:32.866
making it challenging
to tend my vegetable garden.

00:01:34.166 --> 00:01:36.600
I have lost valuable time in replanting

00:01:36.600 --> 00:01:37.466
the seedlings.

00:01:41.766 --> 00:01:42.766
The current batch

00:01:42.766 --> 00:01:44.766
should have been replanted by now,

00:01:49.333 --> 00:01:51.033
but because of the heat,

00:01:51.033 --> 00:01:54.866
I often stay inside and cool off using a fan.

00:01:58.843 --> 00:02:01.810
[mournful piano music]

00:02:23.433 --> 00:02:24.600
The biggest challenge

00:02:24.600 --> 00:02:26.333
is the rising expenses.

00:02:30.666 --> 00:02:33.533
I have a stall at the main market,

00:02:33.533 --> 00:02:35.766
but I don't always have enough vegetables

00:02:35.766 --> 00:02:37.466
from my garden to sell.

00:02:40.100 --> 00:02:41.500
If I grow and sell

00:02:41.500 --> 00:02:45.533
the vegetables
myself, the profit is all mine.

00:02:47.366 --> 00:02:48.366
However,

00:02:48.366 --> 00:02:51.500
if I buy from other suppliers and resell,

00:02:52.266 --> 00:02:55.266
I will only make a very small profit,

00:02:55.933 --> 00:03:00.666
maybe 50 cents or one tala extra per sale.

00:03:02.300 --> 00:03:05.000
So the high costs
and low profit margins  

00:03:05.000 --> 00:03:06.133
 are a big issue.

00:03:23.127 --> 00:03:26.126
