What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I am planning to spend my transfer on buying four bulls that I can use in plowing my farm, I will spend part of the transfer on paying school fees for my children who are in secondary school and college. I will spend part of the transfer on building a house for our sons as currently they are grown ups and they cannot share a house with us.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
The achievement that I am proudest of is that we have been able to take our children to school with the little cash that we get from farming.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship that I face in my life is that taking care of our kids is not easy as at times our land becomes dry and hence it becomes impossible to plant crops as we depend on the crops for cash and food.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is when I go to my farm in the morning to plow it, I see my farm as my life hence working on it enables me to get food and this makes me happy.
