Yet, her numerous challenges have not deterred her from using the little strength she has at her old age to cultivate crops for her own livelihood and to feed other mouths.
On February 14, 2021, the host of the show, Enyonam Manye, along with some of her crew surprised the 74-year-old farmer with goodies as a way of showing her love for her efforts.
The package given to the hardworking Janet Kokor included food items as well as farming tools to assist her to go about the farming duties more easily.
