What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I am planning to expand my house because it's small and I usually host many visitors. I also plan to construct my own pit latrine because I am tired of having to beg to use my neighbour's.

My proudest achievement is that I have managed to feed my family through farming.

The happiest part of my day is in the morning when I wake up a live and able to engage in my daily activities such as farming.
