"I was so glad after receiving and spending all the first and the second transfer on all the plans that I had with my family. Paying school fees and ensuring that all my children are comfortably studying without being sent home to collect school fees has been the best feeling. We also managed to venture into livestock rearing that I am currently monitoring as I hope to see it grow better. Currently, I don't have any new goals since I am working hard and directing all the resources left to the ongoing projects."
