What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent my third transfer on clearing my high school fees in order to get my certificate which I can use to apply jobs and build a house that we stay as a family since we used to live in my step brother's house who had passed on and the house was very old that could be demolished anytime. I also bought food that we ate as a family.

What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I'm planning to spend this transfer to first pay my school arrears. I have so much debt at school because what relatives gives me has not been enough.
Part of the money,I also plan to pay school fees for my siblings and the rest to buy food that can feed us.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
An achievement I can say has made me proud is going to school as well as working during the weekends to fend for our food.
Its a big challenge but the far we have managed since the death of our parents has made me proud.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship I face in life is getting enough food for ourselves and paying part of school fees.
The support we get from my aunt cannot be enough because she also has a family.
What is the happiest part of your day?
My happiest time of the day is in the evening when with my friends telling stories.
