"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I now own livestock which include goats and a cow. To me, these livestock are the only assets that I own. Through them, I am expecting to educate my children to reach their educational goals. I am expecting them to multiply and have many of them. I can readily sell the offspring to pay for my children's fees. Apart from raising fees for my children, I will also be benefiting from the milk that the cow will be producing. I will sell the surplus and earn an income."
