What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I am planning to spend my transfer on buying iron sheets and timber so that I can build another house because the one I am staying in is old, I will use part of it to buy furniture for my house including beddings and I will use some of it to buy clothes that I can wear. I will spend the remainder in buying food to eat.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
The achievement I am proudest of is that I have been able to plough my farm and I got a good harvest that is sustaining me and my family.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship that I face in my life is that I am not able to support myself in terms of getting food during the dry season as I am old.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is when I sell vegetables from my farm in the evening,I feel happy knowing that I will have money to spend in the house.
