What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I am planning to buy sand, cement, timber, round poles, nails and iron roofing sheets which I will use to build a better house for my family.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
My proudest achievement is having saved money that my spouse used to send from his work place and eventually I was able to buy an ox and a dairy cow.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship that I face right now is lack of enough money to build a better house for my family. My current house is dilapidated and I fear that it might collapse.

The happiest part of my day is in the morning when I wake up because I can thank the Lord for blessing me and my family with life.
