What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I am planning to buy timber, iron strips, nails, plastic sheets and paint. These materials will be used to repair my fishing boat.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
My proudest achievement is having worked as a fisherman and saved my earnings, I was then able to buy tree seedlings which I planted and plan to sell the timber when they mature.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship that I face right now is diminished income from my occupation which is fishing, the lake does not yield much fish nowadays and I may have to abandon fishing altogether and look for alternative employment.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the evening after I have finished my work and have sold my daily catch, I can then relax as I count how much money I have earned and just looking at my money makes me very happy.
