I plan to build a new house for myself and my children. I live in my sister's house and it is now time that I have my own house. I have started cutting sticks for me to build my own house but I don't have enough money to start the construction. So, when I receive this transfer, it will help to speed up the process of building my house. I will be a happy man if that project will be made possible.
What is the happiest part of your day?
I was very happy the last time when my trap caught a very big porcupine. I was on my way to buy fish but decided to go and check my traps. One of my traps caught a big porcupine and this made me to save the money I was about to use to buy the fish. I had a great meal that day because I sold some of the meat and used some to cook a rich meal for me and family. The remaining one was kept for the household use till it finished.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
Currently, the main challenge that I am going through is with my eye. Last year, a cataract started growing on my eye and it makes my sight very dim. I was felling the trees on my farm when the bark of the tree hit my eye. From that day up to today, I dont see very clear as I used to do. During the day, I don't see too clear with it except at night when I am able to see clear.
