What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I plan to spend a portion of my transfer on school fees because I have a daughter in form two and she has not cleared her school fees. I also plan to construct another house because this one has already been infested by termites and one side of the wall is almost collapsing hence it is hazardous.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
I am proudest of owning five sheeps because I can sell some in future inorder to raise money to pay school fees.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
My biggest hardship is how to raise money that can enable me send my children to school and that can also cater for their upkeep.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the morning when I'm in my farm ploughing because I know I will reap something out of it.
