What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I am planning to buy a piece of land where I can establish my own homestead and pay dowry to my in laws.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
My proudest achievement is having been a very successful farmer and I have been able to buy a water pump, some cows and iron roofing sheets with money I got after selling my farm produce.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship that I face right now is lack of enough land on which to establish my own homestead. My father's piece of land is very small and yet we are very many siblings, this means that even if we divide up the piece of land, we will end up with uneconomical pieces, which will not be profitable when tilled.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the evening when I am through with all the day's work. I can then relax together with my family and friends.
