Now i am a specialist in salon.""

"The biggest hardship I have faced is famine. I invested resources in farming but ended up getting low yield due to army worm invasion on the farm. My family had to go hungry for some days. It was hard to source for alternative forms of livelihoods for the family. Life was tough indeed."
