What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I am looking forward to using the transfer in paying school fees for my children and buying a plougher that I'll use to cultivate my land and other people's pieces of land at a fee.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
I am a hard working farmer and last year I cultivated a piece of land, managed to get good yields from it and I've never spent any money in buying food of late as most of it were being derived from the farm produce . It saved me a lot.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
I had some illness in my stomach that had me down, I was operated in the hospital and I've never been the same because I'm weak and can no longer do hard duties.
What is the happiest part of your day?
I am usually happy in the afternoon when I receive visitors as they keep me company and makes me forget about the hard parts of life.
