What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
We plan to build a new new house. We live in a leaking dilapidated grass thatched house. We also plan to expand on farming like renting a plot of land for a planting season, that means more produce.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
The achievement am proudest of is educating my eldest child to form four level through savings from casual labour. I feel proud about this because it's been a struggle to get money for school fees.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship we face now is lack of school fees. Our daughter was to join form one, but due to lack of school fees she hasn't.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the morning when I go to farm.
