What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I are planning to build a house in my matrimonial home.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
My proudest achievement was learning how to sew using a sewing machine.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship we have is lack of a steady source of income and our own homestead. We thus have problems when it comes to paying the house rent and school fees.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of the day is in the evening. This usually happens when my spouse brings something home for dinner.
