"Granite breaking is quite a difficult job but this is what we have for now. It involves a lot of body work and sometimes left us with severe body aches and scarred hands. Sometimes our families join us in the work and the most exciting moment is when buyers buy in large quantity for a good price; higher than the normal selling price. This we normally achieved after intense negotiations. Otherwise we don't gain much for the amount of energy and time we put into it. But on the whole we are pleased we have something to do and we are looking forward to a brighter future. Thank you"
