“Some days does be trialling, but I had to throw pride and dignity behind and just do what I have to do. That is how I does support my children and to be honest I don’t feel bad, it is an honest living,” she said with a bright smile on her face.
Those were the words of nut vendor Nicola (only name given) who can be found pushing her cart around the streets of Georgetown on any given day and most times she sells her customers with a smile.
Nicola, who declined to have her photograph taken, is a 30-year-old single mother of five children aged 12, 9, 8, 6 and 4 years old; she has a very positive outlook on life.
