What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I am planning to spend it towards repairing my boat. I am also planning to construct a new house that will protect me from all odds because this one is old and in a very bad condition.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
I would say,educating my children is the achievement I am proudest of because they are now self reliant.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
My biggest hardship is that I don't have enough money to seek treatment for my sickness. This is because I have a growth in my stomach and I am supposed to go for an operation but unfortunately, I cannot raise that money.
What is the happiest part of your day?
I'm happiest in the evening because it is the time I take my goods to the marketplace to sell inorder to make money.
