"The achievement that I am proudest of is that I used to stay in a grass thatched house but I managed to save some cash by denying myself and my family the luxury of eating good food like meat so that I saved some money which I used to build the house that I currently stay in which is has iron sheet roof. The money that I saved came from my business of selling vegetable in the local market."
