What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I am planning to buy a bicycle so that I can easily travel to the market. I will also buy iron sheets and timber which I will use to enlarge my house. The rest of the transfers will be used to purchase some cows, these will be used to pay dowry for my wife.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
My proudest achievement is having worked in a cotton mill and from the money I saved I eventually built a house.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship that I face is lack of sufficient food, this means that we usually have only one meal a day, I also do not have enough money to buy a bicycle and this means that I have to walk to the market which is difficult to do at my advanced age.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the when I wake up, it makes me very happy to be able to thank the Lord for granting me life.
