What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I plan to build my children a separate house where they can sleep since the kitchen they currently sleep in is congested and leaks. If we are left with some moneys we will pump them into farming to increase our produce.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
My proud achievement is in farming which has helped me cater for the needs of my family. It gives us food and also we exchange the produce for money to acquire with other items we need for the home.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship we face is scarce opportunities for casual jobs which we depend on now since the long droughts reduced our farm produce.
What is the happiest part of your day?
We are happy most parts of the day because nothing has crossed our marriage of late. Besides, we still have some food in store and we feel we have peace.
