What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I am planning to spend my transfer on building a better house as the one I am staying in has been damaged by termites, I will use part of the transfer to buy a one cow, a goat and a sheep. I will also use part of the transfer to buy furniture for my house and to spend the rest in buying a farm so that I can plant crops.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
The achievement I am proudest of is that I was able to buy a cow through my business of selling groceries.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship that I face in my life is that at times a go hungry as getting food is not easy due to my little income that I get from the casual work.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is when I go out in the morning to do casual work which is ploughing other people's farms, I am happy because in the evening they will pay me and I will be able to get cash to buy food.
