"I am planning to buy some oxen and a ploughing machine which I will use when tilling my farm. The remaining transfers will be used to buy a dairy cow which will provide my family with milk and I will also sell the surplus milk. If there are any funds remaining I plan on buying household items like chairs, utensils, mattresses and some tables. "

"My proudest achievement is having bought a cow which has given birth to one calf and also being able to pay school fees for my children, all these activities have been possible because I always go to work on other people's farms and save my earnings diligently. "
