The achievement I am proudest of is having been able to save money from fishing and bought two goats that hopefully after they grow bigger I will sell to buy one big cow.

The biggest hardship in my life currently on raising my son single handedly after his mother passed on,it is difficult to move around with my fishing activities and leave him behind without any person to check on him.

The happiest part of my day is normally in the morning when I go for my fishing activities in the lake.Since this is the only source of my livelihood,I find happiness when I get some income to feed my son from.
