What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I am planning to spend my transfer on renovating my house so that it can be in a better condition as the floor is having cracks,I will spend part of the transfer on buying four bulls that I can use in ploughing my farm and the remaining amount I can use in buying food that I can feed my grandchildren as I have one who is mentally challenged and depends on me for his basic needs.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
The achievement I am proudest of is that I am always hardworking and at my age I am still ploughing my farm so that I can feed my family without depending on others.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship that I face in my life is that during dry seasons like in the month of February, getting food is a challenge and because I am not able to dig my farm and this makes me go may be a day without a meal.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is when I go to my farm in the morning to plough it,I feel happy when my crops are doing well and I can harvest them so that I can feed my family.
