What does receiving this money mean to you?
I am very excited to be part of this GD project. Now my dream a dairy farmer is close to realization. Thank you very much GD.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the evening when I am back from my farm with something for my family to take for supper.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
Getting school fees for my kids has been a very difficult task for me. Most of them have left schooling as a result of this hence rendering them jobless. Normally, when I see them struggling in life, I usually view myself as failed parent for them. This has been haunting me and for this is the biggest hardship I have ever experienced.
