What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I plan to buy sand and cement since I want to plaster my house both from inside and outside inorder to prevent dust-born diseases.I'm asthmatic and I usually develop complications whenever I breath in dust.I will also boost my quarry business by purchasing the tools and lastly,I'm planning to spend the remaining portion on school fees.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
The achievement I am proudest of is being able to take care of my children single handedly and being their mentor.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
My biggest hardship in life is how to raise school fees and how to feed my children because I cannot depend on my income alone since it's too little and I don't have an additional source of income that can boost me.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the morning while singing as I do my daily duties because it keeps my mind occupied.
