What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
Our main intention is to use our transfer on paying school fees for two children,one in class eight and the other in college, We also plan to buy furniture and bedding for our house and invest the last bit on leasing out a land and planting rice.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
The achievement I'm proudest of is having been able to educate one of the orphaned child under our care through primary school and now he's training to be a welder.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship is on making ends meet for the family, farming is purely seasonal and the acute drought makes it even harder to get better yields that can see us through the off season,our children also lack proper bedding.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the morning when I'm listening to inspirational music from the Radio after finishing the house chores.
