What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I am planning to buy a water tank and gutters. I will also buy sand and cement which I will use to plaster my house,finally I will buy glass windows for my house.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
My proudest achievement is having met a beautiful spouse who has given birth to a beautiful baby girl.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship that I face right now is lack of a sustainable source of income.I am a casual worker but there is very little work to do in the village, in fact my spouse recently went to back to their home and it seems my in laws do not want her to come back to me unless I pay dowry which I cannot afford.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the evening when I have finished working. I usually get paid and have a chance to visit the market where I buy some food, the atmosphere is usually very lively as I meet with friends and relax.
