What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I am planning to renovate our house and also pay school fees for my son and daughter who are both in secondary schools.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
My proudest achievement is having worked at the lakeshore doing odd jobs, I have been able to save enough money and managed to buy a goat.
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, there is very little work to be done at the lakeshore, so it means that paying school fees for our children is increasingly becoming difficult.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the morning when I wake up, it fills my heart with joy just knowing that the Lord has blessed me with life.
