"My life is different in that I have grown in farming and I'm expecting good produce at the end."

"My life is different in that I now have a cemented house. This has saved me from the stress of looking for mud and cow dung to repair my house every time since I decided on a long term plan. I'm happy too and feel relieved that my child is now in school studying without being sent back home for school fee."
