"I spent part of my third transfer on building a decent spacious house since the previous one was grass thatched and small that could leak during rainning seasons, hence uncomfortable but righ now I feel good because I nolonger worry whenever it rains. I also bought two goats that have already given birth. I plan to sell some of them sell later on and use the money on paying people who will help out in farm work."
