Receiving this money means buying cows. When the cows multiply, I will be able to use part for marrying. When I marry, the wife will help me in proper planning and managing other household projects which will cause development at household level. In our culture, a man is expected to give an appreciation to the girl's family in form of bride price where exchange of animals is a requirement.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is through out working hours. I am single, a teacher who only gets opportunity to interract while I am at school teaching. When I come back home, it's boaring because I do not have some one to interract with.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship that I face in life is not having a helper at home in form of a spouse. This is because I do not have what is required (cows) in order to marry. It's a big challenge because I can not run my projects well and that is making me lag behind in terms of development.
