My children are grownups and all of them have completed university and are happily married. I naturally love children so I'm happy my grand children lives with me. They make me proud and give me joy. The children in the neighborhood also come around and play with my grandchildren and I love it so much.

My Business

I sell grocery in the market. I sell cabbage , lettuce , onions carrots , pepper and all kinds of vegetables. I buy from farmers in my village and bring it to town to sell. It is very cheap in the village and expensive in the city. I make more profit. It helps those in the city who cannot go to the village and buy from there because of their busy schedules. My services serves as their facilitator . I am happy to facilitates their movement. This services to them , my customers greatly increases my profit margin. I use the profit I make for reinvestment into the business, saving and towards a better welfare of my grandchildren.
