I spent 15,000 KES on school fees (secondary school), I bought a bull at 22,000 KES to use on farming, other farming expenses cost me 3,000 KES and I started a business with 6,000 KES.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
I now spend less time harrowing and ploughing my farm because I have a bull that use on my hand drawn plough to cover a large area within a short time.
