I'm planning to spend my transfer on the following ways;Buying iron sheet and change my roof material which is currently thatched and leaks during rainy seasons, I also intend to start a saloon business for my wife to keep her busy at same time generate some small income from it and lastly would wish to buy some plough to help with farming around.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?

What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship I am facing in my life currently is on my leaking roof which makes it a night mare during rainy seasons and the fact that I have my family in this same house is even worse since we have to change locations at night just to get a dry place.

The happiest part of my day is when we gather together as a family in the evening to take our evening meal,it gives me happiness to see my children happy as they share stories of their day at school.
