Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
I have bough most of the required materials to construct an iron roofed house. When this house is complete, I am going to be relieved from the burden of renovating my hut annually. Previously, I didn't have enough money to buy materials since the money I got from agricultural produce I used for paying my school fees.
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
The moment I received my money, I because very happy because I knew that my plan to construct an iron roofed house was going to be accomplished.

What does receiving this money mean to you?
When I receive this money, I will build a house and buy cows that I will later on use as dowry to marry a woman. I prefer a house because I want by the time I bring a woman, there should be good shelter for her and the children we shall get. I will also spare some cows for livestock raising as an income generating activity.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the evening because it is always the time I get leisure with friends.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship I have faced is lack of money to help me in facilitating the process to marry a woman. I am lonely and feel I'm at the right age to have a wife
