We spent our first transfer on buying building materials and paying labour charges for building and smearing my new house. I opted for building because my previous house was very small and old. Am so happy to have my own home. Thanks to GD.

What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
We're planning to spend our transfer on building a new house since according to our culture we're supposed to change our current house,secondly we will use part of it to pay school fees for our child in secondary school and lastly we can use the remaining amount to buy household items and food.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
The achievement we're proudest of is having been able to build our current house since we used to live in a thatched house which would leak during rainy seasons making it very uncomfortable for the children.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship we face currently is on constant sickness of our daughter who is in secondary school now.Her medication has been very costly for us, this has also made it hard to fend for the family.

My happiest part of the day is normally in the morning when I create time to thank God for the day and seek His protection for my family throughout the day ,it's only through prayer that I find true joy.
