What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I am planning to buy a solar lamp because I envy those who have it and I have not been able to do so due to lack of money, build a new house because my house is old, plaster the floor because I am old and smearing is becoming hectic for me. I will then construct a pit latrine to improve the hygiene of my compound.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
My proudest achievement is that I have worked hard as a farmer and constantly provided food for my family.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship I face in life is lack of sufficient finances to feed and educate my orphans because I don't earn much money from my business and I have many dependants.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is the morning when I am back with fish from the lake and my customers come to buy. They usually tell stories and make me very happy.
