What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I am planning to spend my transfer on going back to our home and build our own house so that we can stop renting a house at the market centre, I will buy two cows that we will use in paying for my dowry and the remaining amount I will spend in buying two bulls that we will use in ploughing our farm.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
I achievement I am proudest of is that we have been able to get cash from the sale of our farm produce that enabled us to buy furniture for our house like a bed and the chairs that we now own.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship that I face in my life is that paying house rent is really difficult as we only depend on farming as our main source of income and because farming depend on weather and season so we really have a problem when it comes to clearing our house rent.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is when I prepare supper for my family in the evening,this makes me happy as they will go to bed on a full stomach unlike when they go without food. This also makes me happy as the neighbors won't laugh at me that we don't have food to eat.
