""I would love to invest more into my cocoa plantation because it has profit and it's a business that never goes out of style. It will really help to cater to the needs of my family! Next, I plan to build my own house because right now I'm not living in my own house. I would love to see myself in a decent and long lasting house in that; the insects would be far from the planks because it's really challenging for my family and myself. Lastly, if there's anymore cash left of the cash transfer, we would extend our landmarks by purchasing a lot in the city so as to have our children settling down there.""
